Summertime [EP]

by The Mopes

/
1.
Can you feel your heart stuck in your throat? That’s not as far as it can go. Does it make you smile to know it moves? Well if you’re happy I am too. Every silver lining has a cloud. And no one feels as bad as I do now. ‘Cause you don’t like me any way. You don’t like me any way (you never liked me anyway). That’s fine…

Shoot him if he moves. Shoot him if he moves. Just behind the tree-line. I found him behind the tree-line. Wearing that stupid smile. I hate that stupid smile. Shoot him if he moves. Shoot him if he moves. Now it’s all up to you. And I don’t care what you do. He watched my baby die. Don’t listen to a thing he says. Don’t turn your back. Shoot him if he moves. Shoot him if he moves. Just after midnight. Found him walking after midnight. Wearing that stupid smile. I hate that stupid smile. Shoot him if he moves. Shoot him if he moves. Now it’s all up to you. And I don’t care what you do. He watched my baby die. Don’t listen to a thing he says. Don’t turn your back. Shoot him if he moves. Shoot him if he moves.

Summertime, almost gone. Summertime, always gone.

Squirrel 02:31
What would you do for a nut or two? What would I do for an afternoon? Just me and him. My squirrel friend. Squirrel. Ah Squirrel. What would you say to a nut a day? I can’t buy your love… What would I do to get close to you? I wish you could see how happy we could be. Squirrel. Ah Squirrel.

Secrets 02:44
Secrets. Up in my heart. Up in my heart to stay. Secrets. Up in my heart. Up in my heart to stay. I can’t let them out, ‘til I let you in. I can’t let them out ‘til I let you in. I’ll pile them up so high ‘til they touch the sky. I’ll pile them up so high ‘til they touch the sky.

In my dream you were a dog. You walked behind me on a leash. We were in a green green park. Then you turned into a monkey. Yeah. Yeah. Your little red overalls. They melted my tired heart. Then I put on your plastic wings. And you flew behind me just like a kite. Yeah. Yeah. I’m sorry that I couldn’t stay. I’m sorry that I had to go. You’ll always be my little guy. Yeah. Yeah.
