Summer sitting out by the pool
A ray of sunshine getting in my way
Close your eyes and wish that it were cool
Everyday

And I wish it could be back the other way
But what's dissolved ain't coming back today
Close your eyes and wish that it were
Close your eyes and wish that it were

Axilla axilla axilla axilla
Never understood what my body was for
That's why I always leave it layin out on the floor
The shape a curiosity
Where different faces fit before

And tracing my image in the sand
To pass the time from slip to fall
The line I trace begins to weave
A tangled web from wall to wall
Lifeboy

Swinging on the lifeline, fraying bits of twine
Entangled in the remnants of the knot I left behind
And asking you to help me make it finally unwind

But God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
And you don't get a refund if you overpray

And when the line is breaking and when I'm near the end
When all the time spent leading I've been following instead
When all my thoughts and memories are left hanging by a thread

repeat chorus

Stranded on this slender string
The minutes seem to last a lifetime
Dangling here between the light above
And blue below that drags me down

repeat chorus
