We all know where certain roads lead
Down autumn paths during the final dreams of day
Still, you like to climb your throne
Ascending until the past has no home
If you're wrong,
Well they didn't deserve
A part in this song
Adam Mott Feb 2014
I was thinking about the colour of your eyes
With my smile spreading slowly
Knew I couldn't stop dream frolicking

Until it occurred to me
'Popped into my head
I'd been here a couple days
Would that make you feel differently than before?

All the scenes still stop dead
You never even went to florida
Yet, for me that place couldn't be more filled with dread

Miss me, maybe
Too afraid to ask
Love me still
Heart isn't up to the task

I'd take back all you said
Dead are the roses you let wither in our bed

I've been talkin'
All the girls and boys watchin'
Thinking I've lost an important part of my head
It's true, probably

Regardless, now you can see and hear me
I fell into obscurity
Just to come back and love thee

Will you Summer with me?
Leave a light on

With all going on
I can't help but fall
Fall, on my knees
You always knew just the way to catch me

Now every time I stumble
I think of you and know
How far this journey has taken me
So
Tell me where it is you had to go

And yell at me when I cry out
Plead with my soul
Forget past atrocities,
Just take us home

Ethereal presence
Transfer all hope and dreams
While Kingdom Come
Grows ever near

Oh, I will live the pain
Once pain
Now memories

Just memories
Just memories

I'll decide, I'll decide
What to do when the summer comes
I'll know, I'll know
When I see you
Adam Mott Feb 2014
Often times I recall the warm summer streets of my city. The sun beating down upon aged pavement as she and I lovingly travelled upon clouds of young hopeless love. The pictures I keep, now buried in folders upon folders, are proof of a time in which I lived a love intangible since. Each venture since the end I have measured and compared to this first love. Though the best has yet to come, my vision still always finds its way back to the sun soaked streets of the Port City during the happiest times of my life.
The best times yet. Much, much more to come.
Promise.

Silly thoughts
Redundant isolation
I can't stay awake now
She moved my heart in further
Oh, my baby is like water
She moves like water

Questions rise and fall, like the tide
Pleasing memories keep this boat going
I changed my name now
I watched underwater

Today could be the best yet
Tomorrow even better
So let us keep moving
She's out there waiting
Just like water

Sitting here singing in the dark
I wonder about where you lay
'Wonder about what you feel in your heart

Cool winds are still blowing
And every step is unknowing
But I still think of Summer past
Still remember to learn from a love that made me laugh

Though all this is my cross to bare
Afternoons and friends can bring me back home
Before I set off into the unknown
Sweet everythings. From Shediac to home. June to September. Learn, laugh, live.
