The summer nears its end
The record plays again
The chemist store's on fire
And I can't even lie about it
And I'm already there
The look's about to stare
But the hall begins to shine
The water's almost wine
And now it all comes apart
We call the ending of the start
And now the order's defined
Would you leave it all behind?
Would you leave it all behind?
And all the lonely boys are singing
Oh oh oh â¦
As if the only way to start again is on the brink
And all the girls reply with
Oh oh oh â¦
In the distance all the birds are flying wilder than
The finest note that any one can hear
And now it all comes again
We call the starting of the end
And now we hide all the facts
Would you please just come on back?
Would you please just come on back?
And all the lonely boys are singing
Oh oh oh â¦
As if the only way to start again is on the brink
And all the girls reply with
Oh oh oh â¦
In the distance all the birds are flying wilder than
The finest note that any one can hear
Now you see the lonely truth
Now you see the lonely truth
But I'm not adding up
And I'm not adding up and up and up and up and
Oh oh oh â¦
Singing I'm not adding
Oh oh oh â¦
I want to dance she said she won't cry
Been out all night with nowhere to find
From the east to the west we leave it behind
The North to the south I'm losing my mind baby
Oh oh oh â¦
And lovers all make others for the truth
The summer nears its end
