lyrics

SUMMER IS INNOCENT

You spent a lot of time
Just taking photographs
Pictures to prove your youth
And hold it in some amber spell
But you don’t see them now
The people that you shot
They faded but their pictures stayed
With the story that they tell
A story that you thought you knew so well
But that you didn’t know at all

Summer is innocent
Summer’s not guilty of the things you say that it has done to you
You’re being petulant
You'd better get it straight
It’s just a season
And it doesn’t have it in for you

It’s good to see you here
Hope that you’ve settled in
Long days of fun ahead
You’ll wonder, ‘Where did August go?’
Fall in and out of love
Return home tanned and changed
The things you learn you wont forget
But there’s something you don’t know

Summer is innocent
Summer’s not guilty of the things you say that it has done to you
You’re being petulant
You'd better get it straight
It’s just a season
And It doesn’t have it in for you
