Dried Up Lyrics

Hang dog you sitting and counting nameless stars
And when you look down you're beginning to fall awayYou dried up like an august creekbed
I mounted in an album
With some photos of your summer friends
I can't tell what the note on the back said
You're moving like a poem
And it hurts to see you goingI recall the smell of summer on your skin
We were seventeen
And everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop
It's hard to put to words what I was thinking then
I don't know, we were alive or somethingBrowned off sitting amidst the endless cars
And when you stall out
They're beginning to pull awayYou dried up like an august creekbed
I mounted in an album
With some photos of your summer friends
I can't tell what the note on the back said
You're moving like a poem
And it hurts to see you goingI remember licking ice cream off your chin

We were seventeen
And everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop
It's hard to put to words what I was thinking then
I don't know, we were in love or somethingI recall the smell of summer on your skin
We were seventeen
And everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop
It's hard to put to words what I was thinking then
I don't know, we were alive or something
