I walk alone by circumstance
But I'll finally let this go
To save myself for someone else
For someone else who knows
Love could be a summer thing
So I'll spin it back around
It's time to change, to re-arrange
There'll be no more breaking down
The words you say are over me
They're with the things we'll never be
Packaged up with my misery
It's something I won't do
At least not again for you
I spent so many nights on this
And we've been struggling through the days
But it seems you're just a memory now
Another name to pack away
Watch it as it falls apart
Collapsing fast into the night
That's all we are, we're shooting stars
Two explosive bursts of light
The words you say are over me
They're with the things we'll never be
Packaged up with my misery
It's something I won't do
At least not again for you
So if these words were all mistakes
Would you keep them locked inside your brains?
Well they're only thoughts we can't restrain
All replaced without a care
And embraced in your blank stares
The words you say are over me
They're with the things we'll never be
Packaged up with my misery
It's something I won't do
At least not again for you
Love could be a summer thing
That still resides to stretch through spring
But still in bloom, I'll always sing
When the words aren't coming out
Well baby it's the thought that counts
