Fall like feathers,Red and leatherLeaves crack, dreaming,Slowly leavingWarm hand waiting,
Green has been painted brown
Summer days, summer nights
Summer rain, summer skyBright and blue, black and darkHallow moon, under stars
Fading ember,
Worn and weatheredGlowing letters
Spell their end thereBreathless calling,
The sun keeps falling down
Summer days, summer nights
Summer rain, summer skyBright and blue, black and darkHallow moon, under stars
Summer days, summer nights
Summer rain, summer skyBright and blue, black and darkHallow moon, under stars

Sitting on my ownWaiting for your callNo one else to phoneI miss youI miss you
And I hate the wayMy heart would breakEvery time I watch you walk away
And that’ll never changeUntil the day that I die
You left me in the coldIt rained outside your homeHow was I to knowI’d miss youI miss you
I wish that you were nearBut you're there with him, not hereI’m all out of tears
I miss youI miss you
And I hate the wayMy heart would breakEvery time I watch you walk away
And that’ll never changeUntil the day that I dieAnd I love the wayYou look todayYou do it every timeSomehow, you look even better when you’re not mineSomehow, you look even better when you’re not mineSomehow, you look even better when you’re not mine

Flashbacks of girlfriends pastThe way her mouth moved when she laughedIt’s easy to feel sadI swear it never hurt that badAnd I don’t know whyAnd I’m not sure how
I’ve been living the dreamAnd now she claims it set her backShe broke the rules she wroteI sent her letter back ‘cos I’m fineAnd I don’t know whyBut it’s alright now
She said her pet hate was a cheatI packed her bags and watched her leaveAnd head for the station
Lately it’s like I do what I want to
And maybe it’s ‘cos she’s not there to stop me doThe things she said would bring her downIt wasn’t simple ‘til she weren’t around
She’s so not in the know
She said she’d never let me goThen left me in the coldAnd everyone who knows us knowsThat it weren’t quite right
I’d worked out in my head
That all the plans we’d made were doneShe slept round and she creptShe’d always said it looked like funAnd I loved her liesBut I caught her outShe claimed it must be make believeAnd ripped my heart from off my sleeveAnd I’m not even sure that it mattersLately
I still retain my common senseI’ve heard she’s tired of sitting on the fenceMaking promises she’d never keepBreaking promises she made to me
Lately it’s like I do what I want to
And maybe it’s ‘cos she’s not there to stop me doThe things she said would bring her downIt wasn’t simple ‘til she weren’t aroundLatelyLatelyLately
