Summer went by Quin Finlay Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standing on the banks of some forgotten country
I remember looking out and seeing
The birds fly up from the trees
What were they doing there?
What did they make of me?
Well, I bet they didn’t notice, and if they did
They just thought there’s nothing to see

[Verse 2]
Well, time is an ocean and we
We are drowning here
Surrounded by loved ones and conquering fear
Well, are we really?
Or are we lying to protect ourselves?
Our egos in fragile shells

[Verse 3]
This is the recipe
This is the mess you made
And I’m standing at the bed that’s still unmade
Sitting in my pyjamas
And watching weather through a screen
[Verse 4]
And by autumn, it’ll be over, that’s what they said
But summer came and summer went
And the new year’s almost at our door
Have we learned anything?
Or are we still yearning for more?

[Outro]
This is the recipe
This is the recipe
This is the recipe
This is the recipe for nothing at all
