Summer Away

Summer Away - Aloha

In the town of your youth

On some famous road or boulevard or lane

Boulevard or lane

There's a lilac tree named after you

An unfamiliar child gets to see it bloom

But they're child

He rides in his mother's car

It's as big as hell

And they're on they're way

Line 'em up to be replaced

In the house lived a dog

Not a healer or a saint

He's warm the house with his welcome wag

But in his howl

I'd hear him say

I want to run away

Where is he now

He left us alone

He has a new home

Oh yeah a new home

He's gone

What were you protecting us from

How are you

But it's not on the ground

Anyway

Line 'em up to be replaced

My teacher in the second grade

Taught us all the names of all the presidents and states

All the presidents and states

After a summer away

She frogot ours

Where is she now

With kids half our age

They can't know to be wound

And then let go

They wind you up and then let you go

All my friends can't wait to quit

Who's the next one on the list

All my friends

Can't wait to leave

And i i won't stand for it

I won't get used to it

Follow me out the door
