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 cardondale 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
