mercury is rising still
turn the fan on high
I won't step my own shadow
no one wants to cry

someone put a pax on me
I'll spit in their eye

summer turs to high

with my bedsheet cope and sandals
circle citronella candles
summer's here, the light is raising
hopes and dragonflies

if those hopes are overshadowed,
cotton candy, carmel apple

summer turns to high
summer turns to high
summer turns to high
summer turns to high

after wine and nectarines
the firefiles and time
move like syrup thought the evening
with a sweet resing

I won't pine for what could have been
I'm preoccupied!

summer turns to high
summer turns to high
summer turns to high,
summer high
