ETo give yourself a little bit of Ahope's a Elie
You Bsaid, "we're just spinning where we sEtand."
EAnd if you cling to tokens for your Alife you Efind
You Bwind up with imaginary Emen
DbmStatic transmit Ame
To the other Eside of another room in piecesB  
DbmLike a steady Abeating
The summer Ehurts. The summer Bhurts. 
The summer Ehurts. The summer Ahu-uErts. 
The summer Bhurts. The summer Ehurts. 
EThe telescopic pull of what you Aknow's a Elie
It's Bbroken down 100,000 Etimes
EThe parts collapse, in caving they're Ainside the Eatmosphere
We're Bcarving out our names into the aiEr
You are a Arunner, the steady Ebalance as you're Bgaining in Aspeed
A photogEraph to Bscale the tDbmhrashing of your fBeet
And it won't be Aover until the Ebig, backBhand of the Asun
Beats the Etar out of the Broad you are Dbmon until it's wBon you
The summer Ehurts. The summer Bhurts. 
The summer Ehurts. The summer Ahu-uErts. 
The summer Bhurts. The summer Ehurts. 
EAnd as for all your suffering you Awon't esEcape
The Bsting until you're buried in the Eground
EThe beauty that you breathe into the Aair won't clear your Ename
You have been Bsinning since the day you came aEround
You are a Arunner, the steady Ebalance as you're Bgaining in Aspeed
A photogEraph to Bscale the tDbmhrashing of your fBeet
And it won't be Aover until the Ebig, backBhand of the Asun
Beats the Etar out of the Broad you are Dbmon until it's wBon you
The summer Ehurts. The summer Bhurts. 
The summer Ehurts. The summer Ahu-uErts. 
The summer Bhurts. The summer Ehurts. 
The summer hu-uDbmrts. The summer Bhurts. 
The summer Ehurts. The summer Ahu-uDbmrts. 
The summer Bhurts. The summer Ehurts. 
The summer Ahu-uDbmrts. The summer Bhurts.
The summer hurtsE. The summer Ahu-uDbmrts. 
The summer Bhurts. The summer hurts. E
