(c) 2008 words and music by john dimeglio and brian hawkins

i'm swimming in this glass
this amber colored ocean is foaming up my past
and girl i know when i'm drunk, i got no class
so i'll just sing those goodbye summer songs

i'm a sucker for the words
and the words about the words
and the pretty girls that speak them softly;
on a long walk down that hill, buzzed summer nights devoid of chill
come follow me home

i'm slippin' off my raft
these new york city rapids are flowing way too fast
and girl i know everything i do is just for show -
so i'll just sing those goodbye summer songs

girl, don't let me be that guy
oh you got me oh so high:
with no parachute, my feet can touch no ground
and i'm tripping on summer nights - i call brother aaron for text advice
i'm walking alone

labor day has come and gone. my summer's on the run
and there's time for one more drink -
just one more drink
before i start to sink into
those goodbye summer songs

girl, don't let me be that guy
. . .
