Stuck In Summertime - The Copyrights

Going deaf from your empty threats

You can shout it from roof tops all day

If that’s how you want it now

Amplified three stories tall cause you know

That’s the highest place in town

If that’s how you want it now

Confessing to these empty streets

Summertime brings ghosts to Carbondale

That’s how we want it now

Heat kills all pathetic words

This town is dead but life goes on

Even when you’re gone

Note to self

Try to hang around a little more

Be around a little more

Be seen, not heard

A note to you

Try to let your guard down some

Take it easy some we know you’re here

How long will the summer last

Under a magnifying glass

Ask you to help us along

When we can’t make it through a song

Getting bored of these empty streets

I can sleep all night on 51

That’s not how I want it now

Heat kills all pathetic dreams

Our hopes shot down

But life goes on even when you’re gone

And you know you’re getting old

When you’re wishing for the cold

And you start missing all your peers

You didn’t like when they were here

How long will the summer last

Under a magnifying glass
