Next Summer - Oh Land

Put me to sleep now and don’t wake me up

Until time has changed us, fast forward the clock

Now I’m just a resident, I used to be the host

The one that would make you feel at home

I’ll imagine a perfect landing

I’m not pushing hard, nor hanging

Just silently falling into place

You — where gravity simply takes me

Next summer

We’ll meet again

And start all over where we last left it

Next summer I’ll make you forget

How painful it feels to be left empty

I let it go, let it go now

Next summer I’ll chase you down

So run away, run away now

Next summer I’ll chase you down

Reach out of my shoes and out of my head

You’re losing your grip, I’m still lying in bed

A number is written in blue ink on your hand

The red in your eyes is more prominent

Conversation will take us around in the park

Repeating the words in a dead lock

It starts to get cold outside and it starts to get dark

It starts to clear up now
