The Wind-Up Birds - Ignore the Summer
We watched the sun go down
It made us happy
We watched the sun go down
It made us sad
We watched the sun go down
It made us happy
We watched the sun go down
It made us sad
And the next day
Another brutal sun
And the next day
I was still alone
Even my phone didn't seem to recognise me
(Or maybe my hand was just too sweaty)
There's some kids flying high over the water
Except this one
He's a rope-swing bottler
A group of kids getting high on one another
Except for that one who turns to me and says
"Ignore the summer while you can
"Ignore the summer while you can
"All us fat kids understand
"All us fat kids understand that you should
"Ignore the summer while you can
"Ignore the summer while you can"
All the fat kids understand
All the fat kids except me
I thought 'No'
Maybe this time I should risk it all
Like I'm a show-off dad by a waterfall
Is it time to risk it all?
Like a show-off dad at the waterfall
So what if he did die after all
It's way too bright for me out here
But I think I see your colours when I scrunch my eyes closed
Let myself go blind out here
Trying to see your colours when I scrunch my eyes closed
Suppose that means I have seen you again
In a lame sort of way it is not the end
Close my eyes and I see you again
But I still hear that fat kid saying
"Ignore the summer while you can
"Ignore the summer while you can
"All us fat kids understand
"All us fat kids understand that you should
"Ignore the summer while you can
"Ignore the summer while you can"
All the fat kids understand
All the fat kids except me
I thought 'No'
Maybe this time I should risk it all
Like I'm a show-off dad by a waterfall
Is it time to risk it all?
Like that show-off dad at the waterfall
So what if he did die after all
At the start of The Path to Wisdom
That's where they put the tea shop
And every single road-side shrine
Seems to be a friend of mine
There's a hint of cruelty in everything we do
It's true
There's a hint of cruelty in everything we do
It's true
It's true
I watched the sun go down
It made me happy
I watched the sun go down
It made me sad
I watched the sun go down
It made me happy
I watched the sun go down
It made me sad
