I saw a picture of you today And I knew I had forgotten It was that girl that took me away To a long since lost land of love lost long since Where S.O.S.s in the sand gave way to hearts containing our names Forever ago now blown away And her hair was light with the love of summer And I was the son of sunshine When your eyes get grey with the cold of winter I'll warm them back to blue with this love of mine. I was yours to keep, but our souls are just escapists fighting with our own bodies as they try to escape us. These fights: reflections of within us We turn to turmoil and forsake trust What we should hold closest: the first thing we give up. I was the son of summer looking for love from a moon's daughter. I was the son of summer looking for love from a moon's daughter. Oh, I was the son of summer looking for love, still looking for love.

She never watches the weather Because she's always the last to know when rain is falling. But she's the first to smile when she feels The sun drawing freckles on her shoulders. And I'm one second older As we've discussed, I don't think one lifetime of this is enough. And that kiss that night Snowflakes melting on your cheeks And your eyes beheld mine. Oh I can't deny I get lost remembering your lips on mine I will admit I think about it more than time to time. I'm dancing like I mean it for the first time in my life and I can't stop. Dance with me, I can't stop.

Your heart is your home, wherever you go Just please don't forget me when you get there. My forehead is burning with a love for this girl and The feeling might burn me to death Oh this feeling might burn me to death. For my whole life I've been wandering If only to collapse in her arms. Oh that look in her eyes is the life in my veins And she's got everything that I want If you run away I'll go with you Got a full tank of gas and an out of date map That will keep me in the arms of my June And all I can ask is that this won't end soon. Just keep me in the arms of my June.
