Summer as it stands
It’s just slipping through my fingers
All despite my steady hands
I still couldn’t seem to keep her
And the more I think about it
The less I really want it around

Summer as it stands
It’s just burning me all over
I’ve come to terms with who I am
I just don’t know if I like her
Yeah, the one I’d like to be
Seems forever out of reach

Well, I’ve forgotten
Where I started
And I've lost all sense of hope
Can’t seem to remember
How I got here
But I've made it back before
How is it possible that I lost it all
So early on

I don’t want to lose it all
I don’t want to lose my heart

Summer as it stands
It’s been bringing out the fault lines
It gets harder to pretend
With every single day that goes by
And the lines on her face
Hardly make it any easier to stay

Oh, summer as it stands
It’s been ripping us apart
I'm still learning every day
How to mend your broken heart
Oh, but you’re gonna make it
I know that you’ll take it
And make it so beautiful

Well, I’ve forgotten
Where I started
And I've lost all sense of hope
Can’t seem to remember
How I got here
But I've made it back before
How is it possible that I lost it all
So early on

I don’t want to lose it all
I don’t want to lose my heart

I just gotta wind down
Remember why I started
Maybe a hole in the ground
Or just a space in the closet

Cause if it’s not one thing
It’s another
And if it’s one thing
There’s still another
God I can’t pull myself together
Being pulled in all directions

Oh, I can make it
A little longer
Oh, I'm a fighter
Not a goner
Oh, no one said that this life would be easy
But I'm gonna make it as long as it takes me

Well, I’ve forgotten
Where I started
And I've lost all sense of hope
Can’t seem to remember
How I got here
But I've made it back before
How is it possible that I lost it all
So early on

I don’t want to lose it all
I don’t want to lose my heart
