lyrics

I know
I’ve spoken less than favourably about
Autumn
And how decreasing daylight screws up with
My mood
But this summer feels like living in a furnace

If we could just ignore the heat
And concentrate our melting brains on something nice
Like the river cools us down
And for a moment rinses off all but
Something nice

You talk
I stare
Into the distance while
I don’t hear anything
Something
About
Islands and ferry boats
Turtles and bucket lists
Could you
Repeat?
I wasn’t being rude
Just red hot in the furnace

If we could just ignore this heat
And fantisise about being somewhere nice
Like buried in an avalanche
Trapped in a walk in fridge
Or skidding on black ice

And there’s something to be said
About being careful what you wish for
And there’s something to be said
About talk and knowing when it’s too soon

If we could just survive the storm
The cats are safe
So in the morning we admire our smashed up car
Glass everywhere
Count the new holes in the roof
That’s not what I meant by something nice
