about
a song about being sad, getting happier, and then being sad because of the same things that made you happier.
lyrics
i've found myself in an Indian Summer, it seems
the leaves are crisp, and the snowing is over, for now
so it's nice outside, but my head is killing me
both metaphorically and physically, don't you see that
i'm used to sleeping in the autumn and winter
(i used to feel)
like i could not trust anyone
(but deep down, i still feel that way)
but now it's summer for a minute
(hold that thought, we're leaving town)
but i'm afraid it could be almost done
(i don't want to hibernate again)
i don't want to fall asleep again, again
again, again
just as the sun comes out, you find it can burn your skin
just when you're finally done, you have to start again
just as the sun comes out, you find it can burn your skin
just as the sun comes out it burns
i used to really like that last song
but then i listened to it more than once, and
now i hate it, just like everything else i've made
though if you've heard it now, i guess i left it on
oh! cycle through those feelings through the weeks
it's supposed to be alright when the sun comes,
but it just burned my eyes, my eyes
(i'm alright, it's alright)
(i'm alright, it's alright)
my head is homicidal, trying to
kill me, because the sun came
out, so i must retreat, away from these
things that cause my pain without a
doubt, pound on the door, let them all
know, scream at the top of your
stairs, or hide in the corner, shielding your
eyes, and praying that no one sees you
there
we'll circle back around tonight
the sun comes out and hurts your eyes
we'll circle back around again
the sun comes out to burn your skin
the leaves are crisp, and the snowing is over, for now
so it's nice outside, but my head is killing me
both metaphorically and physically, don't you see that
i'm used to sleeping in the autumn and winter
(i used to feel)
like i could not trust anyone
(but deep down, i still feel that way)
but now it's summer for a minute
(hold that thought, we're leaving town)
but i'm afraid it could be almost done
(i don't want to hibernate again)
i don't want to fall asleep again, again
again, again
just as the sun comes out, you find it can burn your skin
just when you're finally done, you have to start again
just as the sun comes out, you find it can burn your skin
just as the sun comes out it burns
i used to really like that last song
but then i listened to it more than once, and

the sun comes out to burn your skin
