lyrics

And my heartbeat it speeds up, racing me it bleeds now
Flowing through the streets of Beijing to Tiananmen Square
And your head resting on my skin and chest means
That this protest here wrestling my regression
Has ruined my attempts to tell you that nothing's wrong and I still want you
But the pace you hear
It's too late I fear

There was a girl, a mess of golden curls
A world of pretty eyes and bad dreams and secret thoughts unfurled
And with these fires and our tires burned out from too many miles
It was ended, corporal dependent
And all we are is what we do
And I must admit, I stumbled all through
The summer came and left me

And I am alone
And I am alone
And I live this life all by myself
No one to touch me now
No one to hear my voice
There's only my breathing
And a fade-to-gray feeling

Well can you feel the sea change set in motion?
The respite for the teenage hopeless?
Where all the calls from our future lovers swirl inside our heads
Well we could drive the car out to the movies
Play the new Death Cab for Cutie
With windows down we'll chalk it up to nothing bold and only luck

And my heartbeat it speeds up, racing me it bleeds now
Flowing through the streets of Beijing to Tiananmen Square
And your head resting on my skin and chest means
That this protest here wrestling my regression
Has ruined my attempts to tell you that nothing's wrong and I still want you
But the pace you hear as your eyes begin to tear
It's too late I fear
It's too late I fear
Too late I fear

The summer came, the summer came
The summer came, the summer came
The summer came and left me wonderin'
