A very personal song about my mom and how much I miss her. I wrote it during the summer, and everything felt like it was covered in blue.
lyrics
Summer Blue
I need more time
before I can let us go
They say sorry for your loss
but how can I lose something
that is part of my soul
An extension of my arm
My heart
My whole body and mind
Teach me how to breath under water
And to swim above the sea
I’m losing my grip on reality
It’s weighing me down, all this gravity
I need more proof that
you are really gone before
I can let us go
Summer is blue like the
chair in your study back home,
Still waiting for you
And all that I know
is twisting around me,
breaking my insides
And all that I am
is nothing without you
Teach me how to breath under water
And to swim above the sea
I’m losing my grip on reality
It’s weighing me down, all this
Teach me how not to sink under water
And to fly above the sea
It’s tearing me down, all this gravity
I need to know that you’ll be ok
that we’ll be ok
that I’ll be ok
