Songs Of Summer - Gossling, Alexander Burnett

On a Friday night, a thousand years

You were some mystery, I saw you from a mile

Now you’re just TV and a permanent furrowed brow

You’re not the loving man I know

Where did those songs of summer go?

You wore a summer dress, I put down my drink

The world just disappeared, I couldn’t think at all

Now I can’t make you laugh, can’t even raise a smile

You’re not the tender girl I know

Where did those songs of summer go?

Oh we’ve hardened up, we’re paralysed like stone

We’re older and we’ve lost the need for us

We hardly touch what lies beneath the skin

Like words of faded ink, we’ll let it go

Each night a lover’s fight, always on the mend

This love ain’t fixable, why do we pretend?

I’m scared that bitterness and hate will start to grow

We sit together in a daze

Why did our songs of summer fade?

Oh we’ve hardened up, we’re paralysed like stone

We’re older and we’ve lost the need for us

We hardly touch what lies beneath the skin

Like words of faded ink, we’ll let it go

Where did we go?

When did this love fade?

Where did we go?

How far you sit from me

Where did we go?

Where did our songs of summer go?

Where did we go?

How far you sit from me

Where did we go?

When did this love fade?

Where did we go?

How far you sit from me

Where did we go?

Where did our songs of summer go?

Where did we go?

Where are our songs of summer?
