New Summer

from Sunburnt Shadows by Polygon Palace

/

lyrics

Collected in the cloudy light
Faces turned up to the sky
We could count the seconds until the moment this year really begins
Because though it's good, it's better bare-footed
On the grass we stood and drank up the sunrise

I see you're drowning
In Monday morning's hum
Tear up these lies
And throw them skywards

All among the leaves
We celebrated
Caught the gold on our lines
As it flew sideways
House parties in spring
We waited for it
Our new summer to begin again

We go hunting in the shadows
Neon forest overhead
Run beneath this night-time fire
At last
Something's changing
Slow like honey
To the faces in the crowd
Leave your TV, leave your money

Collected in the cloudy light
Faces turned up to the sky
Pressed against the green
They swore they'd never be the ones to try
To chase the metal of the world
Use it to build a cage to call their home

Bye bye, the life I ordered doesn't seem to work at all
I'll trade it for the sun
For the sun
