(Summer Song) Lyrics

Took a while, but I made it through
If I could show you the hell I’d been to
Kept climbing till one day I looked back
Was so high, I couldn’t think to land

And then one moment I was blown away
And there was nothing left that I could say or do

Took a while, but I made it through
If I could show you the hell I’d been to
Lost the light, but then the sun was shining
Couldn’t hide it and I wasn’t trying

And all those people I thought knew me well
After all that time, they couldn’t tell
How I lost my soul, was just a shell
Just a fragment of myself
There was nothing left that I could lose

Took a while, but I made it through
If I could show you the hell I’d been to

Was I becoming what I had to be?
Was that the truth I was supposed to see?
I may have never found my way to you

And all those things that I was made to feel
It doesn’t matter if they’re right or real
My heart was still splitting in two

And all those summer days were like a dream
Woke me from a restless sleep
Made me quiet, had me weak
And all the world and all the love
Of all world came rushing through
