Summer Skin

Tonight trees part for the crescent moon
On a cool 3am
I'm driving, and every light is stopped on green
Unwavering, content

We…can we always be this free

I'm coasting; an empty road requires my thoughts
I'm in love and comply
How this short trip could inspire such sentiment
Escapes me and that's fine

We…can we always be this free

Listen to me cuz I swear there has got to be more to all of this
A prevalent essence that escapes the science we've learned
I'll remember to thank God for a night like this

My condition, so fragile, insignificant
And yet all that there is
Those before me, and the millions yet to come
Will live for love like this

We…can we always be this free

Listen to me cuz I swear there has got to be more to all of this
A prevalent essence that escapes the science we've learned
Life's too poetic to be systematically sound and defined
My summer skin is alive in the darkest of night
I'll remember, I must remember, to thank God for a night like this
