Roots Before Branches

Summer Stars

This town's lakes seem that much deeper,
Bargains in the corner shop seem that much cheaper.
Colors are that much brighter when I'm with you.
Senses are heightened; I don't know what to do.
It's like you have a cause-and-effect on me, I know that for a thousand percent certainty.
This world is a better place with you in it, please promise me you'll never leave it.

We can be summer stars just until the autumn starts;
We can burn so bright that the whole world sees our light.
Secrets are meant to be kept, keep me close to your delicate chest.
We can be summer stars just until the autumn starts;
Together for three months, forever and never apart.

Auras are so much more fragrant, like saturated lilies;
Tastes are incredibly different; like a newfound beauty.
The world is a happier place when I'm with you;
You make me see the world for it's truth; a place of love, hope and eventual happiness;
A land on the path to a form of kindness.

Can we extend this summer fling?
I want to make this a concrete, real thing.
Shake my hand and lock in this deal;
I honestly can't believe love is real.
I see you in my dreams;
And I wake up with you next to me.
How the fuck did I get so lucky?
When did I get so happy?
I can see stardust and rainbows in your eyes;
I'm enamoured by my illustrious type.

We can be summer stars just until infinity starts.
We can burn so bright that the whole world sees our light.
Secrets are meant to be kept, but ignore all that expose this.
We can be summer stars just until infinity starts;
Together for as long as we want, never, no, never apart.
