lyrics

when i look at you,
all i see is the sun—
when i look at you,
all i see is the sun—
though what you really are
is just some distant, dying star,
but when i look at you,
you burn brighter than anything.

when the summer comes,
the fields will all turn brown—
when the summer comes,
the fields will all turn brown—
sixty miles outta memphis,
your blonde crew-cut was sparkling,
and we were swearing up and down
to one another
that it wouldn’t come to this,

and you sat me down
underneath that old tea tree,
said “somebody’s gotta get hurt,
so why should it be me?”

when i say your name,
i say it really loud—
when i say your name
i say it really loud—
‘cause a thousand others always hide
underneath each time i try,
but when i say it loud enough
i can’t really hear anything else.
