The Bittersweet July

She spends her summer with the top down, seat back

Damp skin glistening in the summer breeze

Come waste some time on me

She plants a kiss like you'd see in the movies

In the pouring rain, on the silver screen

In black and white and every color in between

All we need is a reason

The lullabies of city lights will carry me through the night

Looking back through the rearview mirror

Your picture fills it seems I've found my reason to say tonight

For one night

She keeps me waiting up for phone calls, no texts at all

I'm begging for the day she answers

I'm calling all the writers to entice her

We're tangled in the phone lines

Can't get her off of my mind

I'm left on baited breath and hope (?)

Every shot I took fell short

I've dusted off my knees

I'm back for more

All we need is a reason

The lullabies of city lights will carry me through the night

Looking back through the rearview mirror

Your picture fills it seems I've found my reason to say tonight

For one night

All of this feels like it's happened before

Another wasted night, but I'm coming back

It feels like it's happened before

Another wasted night, but I'm coming back for more

All we need is a reason

The lullabies of city lights will carry me through the night

All we need is a reason (All of this feels like it's happened before)

The lullabies of city lights will carry me through the night

(Another wasted night, but I'm coming back)

Looking back through the rearview mirror (It feels like it's happened before)

Your picture fills it (Another wasted night)

Seems I've found my reason to say tonight (But I'm coming back for more)

For one night

I'm coming back for more
