Lifesaver Your timing's really strange Catch me later But can you please be late And it's funny how your thoughts think they're right at all And it's funny how your cause makes no sense at all Lifesaver Let's play a little game Catch me later But make sure you'll be delayed And it's funny how it seems you're doing things And its funny how you find your piece of mind Lifesaver I'm cancelling a date Lifesaver It's time you had a break Lifesaver I'm cancelling a date Lifesaver My saver

The hem of her dress spills over What covers the seat N'flutters in the breeze like Caterpillars on a leaf Hair the hue of lions, Beaches dried by morning suns Promise you will write me a poem Of who I am 'for sadness comes Oh it comes in slow slow whispers When it comes feels like long long winters She placed her hand in the sun and With her shadow smoothed me down Turn your mind down low now Hold me close 'for madness comes Oh it comes in slow slow whispers When it comes feels like long long winters Let it come in slow slow whispers Let it come with its long long winters

Might have been a while Since you've been loved Like you should be loved Might have been a while Since you've been kissed Like you should be kissed Tender lovin' arms Might be something you miss Well summerbreeze is blowin' through your window And summerbreeze is blowin' through your hair And something in your eyes That you cannot disguise Don't tell me it ain't there Might have been a while Since you've been loved By one who really loves you It might have been a while Since you could trust That someone really cares Were people like us Meant to go 'round in pairs? Summerbreeze is blowin' through your window Summerbreeze is blowin' through your hair Something in your eyes That took me by suprise Don't tell me that it ain't there
