does it make you nervous, yeah? does it get in your head not to know where we are? all under your skin like a sound in the dark? scared and warm, content and bizarre does it make you nervous, yeah?
2.
i wonder if it ever happened, yeah, to anyone else i wonder if it ever happened, yeah, to anyone else i can't imagine i'd believe it if it wasn't myself i don't think i could believe it if it wasn't myself 'cause when i hit the ground i felt i felt impossibly tense you helped me up and then i said i said it didn't make sense back when you told me every everything was gonna be fine i said "of course," and then i stared up at the ceiling all night and when i get back home to someone i can ask for advice and if the summer ends and somehow we're both still alive i will describe to them the circumstances that we survived oh, it is beautiful, but maybe, yeah, it's all in my mind i wonder if it ever happened, yeah, to anyone else i wonder if it ever happened, yeah, to anyone else but we could use the summer, summer's gonna keep us alive but we could use the summer, summer's gonna keep us alive

where are we, where are we in everything, in everything

we are ninety million miles under the sun and we're spinning out ever so gracefully my head has been filled up with helium all yellow to orange and sunshine to green the colors are starting to bleed lie in the backyard and never grow old again will i survive? well, we'll see in the end it was worth all the stories i told because every moment is precious and perfect to me i've always loved not knowing what's going on in a summer that lasts for a day that stays on repeat and repeat, rolling on so just take down your calendars, throw them away and enjoy this one sliver of peace disregard any mistakes that we've made will summer end? well, we'll see slide out that window and sit in the shade with me never leave.

well i've been perfect, i've been horrible and fearless and brave i've been made fun of, lost love, swept under rugs, i've gotten played i've been triumphant, i've collapsed distracted undone confused i've been rebuilt, resold, recatalogued, refurbished, reused but i see no harm in watching every little thing that you and i'm gonna end up wasting quite a lot of time about you so go and spread the news, but if you please, don't think about me oh, i think it's clear there's consequences we didn't see ...and i can't sleep well i've been the happiest man alive, hit by the light and left blind destroyed unspent half dead reduced to nothing missed every sign you've stood on stars, you've totaled cars, you've repaid all of your debt you took that summer heat with grace that i can never forget but it'd be so easy just to slip back and to let it reset but i've got matters to attend to, i can't leave here just yet although the sweat that's on your forehead is like something of a dream oh but of course there's gotta be some consequences we didn't see this light is lovely but some rest is really only what i need ...and i can't sleep
7.
do you think i'm paranoid? see, i can never tell if you asked i'd say we're closer here to heaven than to hell, but i repeat: this place somehow makes me feel unwell everyone is complicated and unique but still all scared to die no one's really crying. everybody's just got something in their eye yeah i can't place it but i made a wrong turn somewhere along the line after spending long enough here everybody seems to learn just sit back relax and listen try to hang on every word i only can't get past the fact that it's so sunny in the guts of the world so i'll wait until the morning 'till i pack my bags and leave (if i hurry i think i can manage seven hours of sleep) because while everything is perfect here well, it ain't the place i need well, the sun's too bright, the sun's too bright, someone do something about it, yeah well, the sun's too bright, the sun's too bright, someone do something about it, yeah and when i saw you smiling it was terrifying and i will run until my legs give out and i will run until my legs give out and i will run until my legs give out there's a tightness in my chest that's creeping up the wall all around here, and it's not my place to judge this place at all but from the inside, i feel like everything is way too small

reshape the mountains pour your coffee put the hillside in bloom repaint the kitchen wash the counters stock the fridge clean your room make sure the weather's picture pleasant wash the skyline in chrome i want the world to be perfect when you get home. i want the world to be perfect when you get home soon i want the world to be perfect when you get home soon
