Summer Skeletons

We were sun-burned and shoeless kids It was the dead of July We were skippin' stones in the failing light I smelled the fire place although we were miles away We were infinite, there was no time in those days When all we knew wasn't stolen There was nothing real to lose When our heads were still simple We'd sleep beneath the moon You were something that would always be around When regrets were nowhere to be found Lost out among the trees, our hands scraped the bark You still had bloody knees from your spill in the dark We were both laughing then while carving bad words in the wood We had no need to speak Night, down by the shore, we were down by the shore When the skies opened up and all the stars fell into the lake When the water was warm, walked in over my head But you pulled me out by the collar of my shirt Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, oh-oh, oh-oh Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, oh-oh, oh-oh Ah Dirt in our ears, sun in our eyes Shirts hung in rags, head in the clouds Our fears had no teeth, hearts were still blind You barely talked and I didn't mind Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh
