[Verse 1: Lew]
In the summer
I watched TV with
My dad's new wife
I rode around
On my mountain bike
Like
A big backyard
And the fallen tree;
Our soda's cold
And the summer's free
[BRIDGE: Lew and Addie, Harmony]
Time is torn into a memory:
Some things we lose
Some things we keep
[Verse 2: Lew]
Underwater
Open my eyes to find
My sister's leg
I pinched her thigh
And she kicked my face:
A broken nose
And a shining sea
I make a funny noise
When I try to breathe
[Bridge: Lew and Addie, Harmony]
Time is torn into a memory:
Some things we lose
Some things we keep
[Chorus: Lew and Addie, Harmony]
I see it rolling with the clouds at night
My mom drove fast to make it home by night
She said, “It's time to go to bed,”
And I turned around and said
“All my love, Suzy Greer.”
[Verse 3: Lew]
Auntie Carla
Came down Sunday
Borrowed the TV guide
Like spaghetti night
And spaghetti fright
A big back yard
And the fallen tree
You change your clothes
For the winter freeze
[Bridge: Lew and Addie, Harmony]
Time is torn into a memory:
Some things we lose
Some things we keep
[Chorus: Lew and Addie, Harmony]
I see it rolling with the clouds at night
My mom drove fast to make it home by night
She said, “It's time to go to bed,”
And I turned around and said
“All my love, Suzy Greer.”
[Coda: Lew]
The sun is golden, and my eyes are closed:
Just mom and I, to hear the mountain talk
Now the days have all moved on
And all that's left's a song
That I've made to share
