lyrics

She told her older sister, “It’s just a summer thing.”  She got me floatin’ she’s my water wings. Down to take the plunge with me. She's two comforting. Keeps my tongue between her legs for when I run my mouth, and keeps up with me. We say, “We ain’t a couple, we a couple runaways." And she don’t like my city much, she only comes for me. So, so much for a summer fling, I guess. It’s still a couple months from spring. 

And you can take it.
My word you can take it.
I couldn’t break you if I tried, pretty lady.
You a big girl. You can take a dive with me baby. 
And you can take it.
You can hold me to my word we can make this work.
I couldn’t break you if I wanted. I’m your anchor or your flutter.

When two lovers dream in unison a world away is it telepathy or a coincidence or a courtesy the universe affords a pair of worthy, sleepless dreamers? Big kids, big feelings. She fucks me in Swedish. I’d love her pieces but I ain’t much of a seamstress and she is so I’ll let her pull me apart and stitch me back together instead. It’s elevating but let’s keep a level head, kid.

It’s just a summer thing, Trip. She checked the shutter speed. I climbed that rusty old shipwreck with my muddy feet. I’m her buccaneer, she's my viking. Meet me on the island. Swoon for me boo, just catch yourself if I ain’t there help you upright. Shit, you know you tough, right? So, so I’ll make up songs for us to sing. And hope it's longer than a summer thing

And you can take it.
My word you can take it.
I couldn’t break you if I tried, pretty lady.
You a big girl. You can take a dive with me baby. 
And you can take it.
You can hold me to my word we can make this work.
I couldn’t break you if I wanted. I’m your anchor or your flutter.

And I can take it, too.
I’m good, shit I can take it you
couldn't break me if you tried, pretty lady.
I’m a big boy. I can take a dive with you baby. 
And we can take it.
You can hold me to my word we can make this work.
I couldn’t hurt you if I wanted.
I’m yours for the summer.
