All Summer
from All Summer/Homes by The Vegans
lyrics
I was basking in the moonlight
but I thought it was the sun
I was hiding in my bedroom
as all my friends were having fun
There were creatures from the forest crawling into my bed
I fought dragons from the tower that looms overhead
I was wide awake all summer
I was broken and alone
I was running from the spirits that had invaded my home
Oh I’m aching for adventure
But I’m trapped in what I know
Forever hopeful I’ll grow stronger forever angry it won’t show
This cursed place I’ve been living in
It’s been wearing me down
All their eyes are filled with judgment
and they’re lying through their teeth about me
I’m so sorry to admit
My heart’s ablaze
And it’s nothing to do with you
There is meaning in the water
and that godforsaken couch
I’m willing to throw you away
I’ve been writing out of context
In a desperate attempt
To eradicate the complicated woes that are left
From the days we left behind
and the words I’ve kept inside
Because ultimately
I am the enemy
They say that home is where the heart is
and I believe it to be true
But my broken heart is scattered and I’m not sure what to do
My ways of coping with my loneliness are the reasons I’m alone
My love for life one sided but I’m fine on my own
but I thought it was the sun
I was hiding in my bedroom
as all my friends were having fun
There were creatures from the forest crawling into my bed
I fought dragons from the tower that looms overhead
I was wide awake all summer
I was broken and alone
I was running from the spirits that had invaded my home
Oh I’m aching for adventure
But I’m trapped in what I know
Forever hopeful I’ll grow stronger forever angry it won’t show
This cursed place I’ve been living in
It’s been wearing me down
All their eyes are filled with judgment
and they’re lying through their teeth about me
I’m so sorry to admit
My heart’s ablaze
And it’s nothing to do with you
There is meaning in the water
and that godforsaken couch
I’m willing to throw you away
I’ve been writing out of context
In a desperate attempt
To eradicate the complicated woes that are left
From the days we left behind
and the words I’ve kept inside
Because ultimately
I am the enemy
They say that home is where the heart is
and I believe it to be true
But my broken heart is scattered and I’m not sure what to do
My ways of coping with my loneliness are the reasons I’m alone
My love for life one sided but I’m fine on my own
