Summer Was a Day - Pete Yorn

There once was a man who loved a woman She was the one he slew a dragon for They say that nobody ever loved as much as he But me, I love you more And there once was a man who loved a woman She was the one he gave his kingdom for They say that nobody ever loved as much as he But me, I love you more My love is a giant, fierce and defiant But how can I prove it to you Ain't got no kingdom, no dragon To back up my braggin' How can I show what I would do I only know there once was a man Who loved a woman She was the one he ate that apple for They say that nobody ever loved as much as he But me, I love you more There once was a woman who loved a man He was the one that she took poison for They say that nobody ever loved as much as she But me, I love you more And there once was a woman who loved a man He was the one she swam the channel for They say that nobody ever loved as much as she But me, I love you more My love's meteoric, it's merely historic A whirlwind, a cyclone on wheels It rocks the whole solar plexus It's bigger than Texas I just can't tell you how it feels I only know there once was a woman Who loved a man Loved him enough to cause the Trojan war They say that nobody ever loved as much as she But me, I love you more, more, more, more More than a hangman loves his rope More than a dopefiend loves his dope More than an Injun loves his scalps More than a yodeler loves his alps More, more, more, more, more There once was a man There once was a woman Who loved a woman Who loved a man She was the one he slew the dragon for He was the one that she took poison for They say that nobody ever loved as much as he she But me, I love you more But me, I love you more

Only save, Try to find another way, I'm taking what I gave to you again. Some new day I could understand your face, You could even hold my hand if you would like to. It came up unexpected, I had to follow through And it's hard when you were working like you do. It was easy when you were younger, You can put it back together, It was there if you ever wanted it But you closed the door and said goodbye for good. So this is a mistake, Try to find a better way, You were never fond of anything I said. Can we begin again? Save it for another friend, I was happy in my life I won't pretend, Every time you were expecting to reach out and forgive this, I was hardened by the look upon your face, It was easy when you were younger, You can put it back together, It was there if you ever wanted it, But you closed the door and said goodbye for good, For good

There's a place around my heart that you wish for When you pretend its never there What are you living for? Come back and see me some time, she said Thinking he'd rather be dead. But eventually I might give her a ring instead Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? I want everything to be so clean So clean When you're alone, You'll ask yourself things I bet you were not Even thinking all these things One time its clear to you All the things you know He even reminds me of the kid we used to know Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? I want everything to be so clean. So clean. There's a place around my heart That you hope for When you pretend its never there What do you answer for? Come back and see me sometime, she said. Thinking he'd be dead. But eventually, I might give her a book instead Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? I want everything to be so clean. So clean. Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? I want everything to be so clean. So clean.

I know a man who lives under his covers Uh uh uh uh uh uh Lost his mind from the TV Now he's playing God And somebody told him that he was no good at Uh uh uh uh uh uh He's talking out of the left side of his mouth And he won't follow These lines he's drawn for him And he don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what he sees here every night Three little boys dress up in the morning Uh uh uh uh uh uh Come back home from the school yard Talkin' bout Love But on this occasion the boys feel the same Uh uh uh uh uh uh Something's holding them back there I bet it was their mom And they won't follow These lines he's drawn for them Cause they don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what they see here every night And we both know That people change When truth's not part of their lives I've seen the love in their eyes Don't say goodbye Goodbye I know a man who wakes up in the evening Uh uh uh uh uh uh Lost his mind from the TV Now he's blaming God And somebody told him that he's good for nothing Uh uh uh uh uh uh Now he screen prints American T-shirts Through the night And he won't follow These lines they've drawn for him And he don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what he sees here Every night

When I met you I didn't know what to do I was tired, I was hungry, I fight Now I'm away I write home everyday and I see you on the TV at night You can see that life's for us to talk about You can leave whenever you want out Whoa You don't relate to me, no girl You don't respect me, no girl No girl, oh yeah When I met you I didn't know what to do But I noticed that I didn't really feel Now you're away You write home everyday I don't beg, I don't borrow, I steal You don't think that life's for us to talk about You can leave whenever you want out You want out Well, you don't relate to me, no girl You don't respect me, no girl (You can leave when ever you want out) And you don't relate to me, no girl And you don't respect me, no girl (You can leave whenever you want out) No you don't relate to me, no girl And you don't respect me, no girl No girl, yeah
