- Summer's End
- Lyrics by Dan Jacobsen
-
- It’s been too long of a time now
- I can’t find a reason
- The logic is missing
- And I
- Could back away if I wanted to
- But I could never do it
- At all
-
- The summer’s end
- is closing in
- and the letters you’re writing
- are slimming and growing small
-
- And the ink on the page
- Tells of places far away
- In your dreams or in this world
- And the etched out words
- Speak of thoughtful blurbs
- That didn’t quite make it out loud
- That didn’t quite make it out loud
-
- And someday soon
- I’ll be writing you
- With my pen guided
- By the light of the moon
- And the day is old
- And the stars have come out to play
- Have come out to play
- and ends the day
- With me sitting all alone
- Sitting all alone
-
- But this new idea of fun
- Has turned its back on me
- And this room is a jail right now
- The doors are locked
- There’s no way out
- I can’t even tell if it’s day or night
- I can’t tell if it’s light outside
And my computer sits in a corner unplugged
- And darkness fills the emptiness
- And crashes over me now
- There is no way to escape
- Not now, not ever more
- All hope has been lost
-
- I could have turned back to you
- And I could have been with you
- To comfort me in the quiet
- When my ears hurt too much to hear
- This silence is killing me
- And it’s older by the hour
-
- The summer’s end
- is closing in
- and the letters you’re writing
- are slimming and growing small
-
- And the ink on the page
- Tells of places far away
- In your dreams or in this world
- And the etched out words
- Speak of thoughtful blurbs
- That didn’t quite make it out loud
- That didn’t quite make it out loud
-
- And someday soon
- I’ll be writing you
- With my pen guided
- By the light of the moon
- And the day is old
- And the stars have come out to play
- Have come out to play
- and ends the day
- With me sitting all alone
- Sitting all alone
