Owen Davis - Postmortem / Summertime Reprise
Light's dimmer
Heartbeat went fast, but the real soul died quicker
Won't see it, believe it till you feel that slight flicker with the right trigger
Stay chipper
That's life, killer
Yeah, i know
Night's different in the summertime
My love
Don't say shit about your busy routine now, my love
Tears came flooding eastbound on 80, my love
No calls, no answer from my love
★ chorus 1 ★
Don't offer fake love if you've got it for me
I know all your ways around me, i know you say shit about me and now i've had enough
I can see the postmortem, babe
Gonna cut through my skin and they'll shine the lights in
And they'll see what you did
★ verse 2 ★
October
Phone call flew south real fast, shit got colder
So free, so mean, she speaks like the light's over
Feel a lot older, words bolder, she's a high roller
And felt a lot closer in the summertime
My love euthanized youth and i swear she knows it, my love
Cut the call short for a one-night love life, my love
Someone else to show you you'll never need me
Was it good?
Did he make you laugh?
Did he make you—
★ chorus 2 ★
I'm all for fake love if you've got some for me
I know all your ways around me, i know you speak well about me and i ain't had enough
Inconclusive postmortem, babe
When i cut through my skin and i shine your light in
And i can't find a thing
★ part ii ★
★ verse ★
What happened, my friend?
I wanna talk about our lives again
It's quite the gap you left behind
Would you think about it?
Would you be so kind?
My love, i adored you
Now i can't afford to
I could've bought a week or two
But will you call me up when you're home for the summer?
I'll try to keep my shit together
Would you drive on over if it could be how it was?
We're still young
★ part iii ★
★ verse 1 ★
Someday
Maybe years from now, maybe tomorrow
Maybe miles away, maybe here, maybe chicago
I'll think of you and i'll feel alright
And replay summer nights
Warm air, a cool breeze, pink clouds and oak trees
★ verse 2 ★
And i was good with you regardless
If we made love, or laughed, or sat in silence
When sunset came, it felt like god
And you were everything to me
★ outro ★
I'll be proud to have known you forever
You've just got your life to live, and who am i to hold you down?
