Dusk And Summer - Dashboard Confessional Lyrics

She smiled in a big way
The way a girl like that smiles
When the world is hers
And she held your eyes
Out in the breezeway
Down by the shore
In the lazy summer
[Chorus]
And she pulled you in
And she bit your lip
And she made you hers
And she looked deep into you
As you layed together
Quiet in the grass
Of dusk and summer
But you've already lost
But you've already lost
But you've already lost
When you only have barely enough to hang on
And she combed your hair
And she kissed your teeth
And she made you better
Than you've been before
And she told you bad things
You wished you could change
In the lazy summer
And she told you laughing
Down to her core
So she would not cry
As she lay in your lap
And she said
"Nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grass of dusk and summer"
But you've already lost
But you've already lost
But you've already lost
When you only have barely enough to hang on
And she said
"No one is alone the way you are alone"
And you held her looser
Than you would have if you ever could have known
Some things tie a life together
You slendered threads and things to treasure
Days like that
Should last and last and last
But you've already lost
But you've already lost
But you've already lost
When you only have barely enough of her to hang on
Hang on
Hang on
Hang on
