lyrics

This is a game we know all too well
We’re made up of moments in the most fragile of shells
These bodies sleep, oh these bodies sleep
Just for a second I’ll think everything’s fine
You fooled me by making your eyes shine
These bodies sleep, oh these bodies sleep

You asked me to go to Opium for Roam
But your heart barely knew me by the time we got home
You’ve always been a summer girl who needed to climb
I swear I’d have been there, I just needed more time

And I need these eyes for the summer, need
I need these eyes for the summer
And I need these eyes for the summer, need
I need these eyes for the summer

You gazed through the border and over Carolina
You barely made a sound as my heart was on fire
These bodies sleep, oh these bodies sleep
Just like the cold at the window
The cars, they made patterns as we came down low
These bodies sleep, oh these bodies sleep

Every single day’s been full of mistakes
And I’ll take the blame if you reform the shapes
I kept you in darkness, in rooms with no light
While you dreamed of big cities and a future so bright

And I need these eyes for the summer, need
I need these eyes for the summer
And I need these eyes for the summer, need
I need these eyes for the summer

As we landed we looked at the time
It’s been slower and harder pretending we’re fine
The air and the heat took hold of our faces
These are the days we are put in our places
Somewhere deep in Louisiana we caved

And I need these eyes for the summer, need
I need these eyes for the summer
And I need these eyes for the summer, need
I need these eyes for the summer
