Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin
I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin
On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the season's change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin
-Death Cab for Cutie

HM-GiggleFairy on December 18, 2007Since change is constant, I wonder if people crave death because it is the only way they can really get anything finished.

Phineas Red on December 17, 2007i see you have an alter ego of RoseMadder, is that by any chance a reference to the Steven King novel? If so, you're awesome.
