You know, I loved and picked you from the start
With your golden dreams and hungry heart
Should have known to leave you in repair
With the hollow teeth and sallow skin

Ooooh, ooh, oh!
We can make it like we did it all summerlong
Ooooh, ooh, oh!
In the shade where the others all sang along

Whoa-ooh-oh-oh-oh (x8)

I saw you walk into the silent sun
To the land of stars, to be the chosen one
They drew you in with honey on their tongue
They said, you're welcome here and loved by everyone

Ooooh, ooh, oh!
We can make it like we did it all summerlong
Ooooh, ooh, oh!
In the shade where the others all sang along

Whoa-ooh-oh-oh-oh (x8)

Where are your cherry words and handouts
Running in circles around you giving you away
Find out what it means to work so hard for just a little pay
Find out that the shoulder you need to cry on never came
And now you run back to sunrise oblivion

Ooooh, ooh, oh!
We can make it like we did it all summerlong
Ooooh, ooh, oh!
In the shade where the others all sang along

Whoa-ooh-oh-oh-oh (x8)
