In the summer of 2010 I was unemployed. It was the best summer of my life. This is a drinking song.
lyrics
long days, can’t get enough of these
long days, we’ve had such luck on these
long days, i feel them slip, slipping away
the sun sets, i should go to bed
but i get dressed, in my shirt instead
and i head west, back to the place i love best
where everyone is having such fun
as the night wears on, the bottles we’ve drunk
make my head spin
here comes the sun again
eyes down, don’t look in her face
keep your eyes down, your hands on your plate
cause she’s out of bounds, and no you don’t want to tempt fate
no you don’t want to tempt fate
no you don’t want to tempt fate
cause everyone is coming undone
as the night wears on, the bottles we’ve drunk
make my head spin
here comes the sun again
no i don’t want to go home
oh no, i don’t want to go home alone
cause all that’s waiting
is darkness that’s fading
to daylight that’s breaking my heart
if you don’t mind me saying
i think i’ll be staying
right here chasing the dark
chasing the dark
chasing the dark
