Dismantling Summer I'm pulling wings off insects I'm peeling back my sunburnt skin I'll wait outside your bedroom I hope they let me in
I'm filling your prescriptions The orange bottles stare me down They're standing at attention An army on your windowsill
We're all waiting for good news Hoping you can come home soon We're all waiting for good news
I've been acting like I'm strong But the truth is, I've been losing ground To a hospital too crowded, A summer winding down I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now
I grew up on your back porch And I watched the storms light up the clouds They hung like paper lanterns To guide the way back toward your house
I've been putting off long flights Hoping that you'll be all right And I'll be there in the meantime
I've been acting like I'm strong But the truth is, I've been losing ground
To a hospital too crowded, A summer winding down I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now
If I'm in an airport And you're in a hospital bed Well, then, what kind of man does that make me? If I'm in an airport And you're in a hospital bed Well, then, what kind of man does that make me? If I'm in an airport If I'm in an airport What kind of man does that make me? What kind of man does that make me?
I've been acting like I'm strong But the truth is, I've been losing ground To a hospital too crowded, A summer winding down I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now
Hadn't felt a heartbreak until now Hadn't felt a heartbreak Oh the hospital's too crowded The summer's winding down I haven't seen a heartbreak until now Well I haven't felt a heartbreak until now
