Slipstream

August slips away

Into a calendar that fades

Beach side towns

And one way lanes

Where we run

That old ice cream place

Where I swore we’d get engaged

Ticks the time and marks my age

In the sun

Summer love is the nastiest bug of all

Gets you high, leaves you dry to fall

Into the town

That we call home

But we have fallen out of touch

Friendships fade

Memories age

Lost you from loving too much

Into the slipstream

Where memories become dreams

Of broken hearts

At the seams

Frozen times and movie scenes

Oh the slipstream

Drive-in movie dates

Of epic loves we can’t create

Cause school is back

And life is great

I guess for you

Beach walks turn to be

Just quicksand around my feet

Wash away all my worries

I’m lost at sea

Rolling tides tend to just roll through my life

I guess I pictured something different for you and I

Into the town

That we call home

But we have fallen out of touch

Friendships fade

Memories age

Lost you from loving too much

Into the slipstream

Where memories become dreams

Of broken hearts

At the seams

Frozen times and movie scenes

Oh the slipstream

All the shops

They are closing

For the winter and they won’t be open

All our luck

Seems to be changing

As seasons are rearranging

I ain’t forgot

Our paths are the ones we’ve chosen

The future is still unopened

So don’t be scared

When summer comes again next year

We both will find our way here

Into the town

That we call home

But we have fallen out of touch

Friendships fade

Memories age

Lost you from loving too much

Into the slipstream

Where memories become dreams

Of broken hearts

At the seams

Frozen times and movie scenes

Oh the slipstream
