lyrics

Okay, all these words that I say
Are weighed down with cliches and they rhyme the same way
I've been in a crazy dazed haze for the past couple days
Afraid of what I won't convey before these memories fade

Can't claim my bed's been made since the last time you stayed
Some days my brain can't contain the rainy thoughts I entertain
But the giddy games that we played, the paper planes that we made
Make it easy to explain why I smile when I say your name

If you feel the same as me when you look me in the eyes
Let's devise a compromise so these feelings never die
All kinds of surprises could be waiting down the line
If we decide to keep our minds off what's between each others' thighs

We'll never have to deny
We were always best
Always best
When we were high

You probably had a little mollie on that San Francisco trolley
Some cocaine on the brain the last time that you called me
I smoke cigs and eat pills when I feel like I'm falling
Neither of us has any reason to be sorry

Time flies by us snorting science in the stall
We stumble down the hall, kiss hard against the wall
Then we climb back up to the roof
And watch the stars fall

We were undercover lovers
We were never discovered
But sometimes I wonder
What would have happened
If someone pulled back the covers

Would you shudder and mutter about being smothered
What I stutter another unforgivable blunder
Or would our hearts flutter
And hold on even closer to each other?
It was a hell of a summer

I shift my focus from your sexy hipster lips
And the way my fingertips gripped your slippery hips
Cause I'm ill-equipped to see the pieces that don't fit
And I swear if I slip it'll only be for a little bit

I won't try to steer us clear of our respective directions
I'll protect what's left of our affectionate connection
I don't expect our lives to keep on intersecting
So just know I've got your back wherever you're heading

Oh, it was a hell of a summer

about

Tyler Taylor Boulder, Colorado

Hi, I'm Tyler. You may know me from my band, The Amends. I'm pretty sure you must if you've found your way here. I made this site so that I could have a place to quietly share my older songs (ones I mostly wrote before founding The Amends with Drew) with anyone who's interested. I recorded and played these myself, so forgive the varying sound quality. All songs are technically free. ... more
