Meagan Aversa - Summer

If you’re still looking for me tomorrow
I’ll probably be in the same place
Skipping stones and counting sidewalk edges
To keep a steady pace
I hear your name in birdsong
And see you sitting on the train
I watch you grow up every time
I round the bend by your parents place

I hope it’s greener where you are
You said “the city could stifle anything”
Not conducive to the life you’d live
If you could have it your own way
I could see it in your eyes back then
Couldn’t help wishing you would stay
You were too good for me and this place
I just figured it out too late

There’s something about the warm air now
That just makes me feel so low
I miss you like the Summer
But I won’t let it catch a glow
And I want to be by myself
But I don’t want to be alone
I’ll meet you at the surface
But I won’t let you know I’m close
And I wish I found the words to say
Before you went away
Before you went away
