Lyrics
SUMMER SCHOOL OF BLUE
Written by Reid Jamieson
Wait for me on the swings in the park
Behind your house before it gets deathly cold outside.
I hear this winter is gonna be a bad one
I barely knew you in the last one
But I went to the summer school of blue.
I have grade four secrets to give to your ears
The prettiest sculptures of flesh
Have you heard that I think you're cool?
You unspool me and rule my mood
Attendance was high at the summer school of blue.
Let me propose a Koolaid toast to marriage in twenty years.
Who was that sandy haired boy with the glossy teeth at your party?
He looked like your cousin, I hope he's your cousin
Or this winter, this winter will be a very bad winter.
Wait for me in the emergency room.
Accidents happen, I wrongly assumed
I could jump from that high in the air.
And the leaves on the tree were yellow and red
And falling for you, I'm falling for you.
All my answers were right in the final exam
At the summer school of blue
The summer school of blue
The summer school
of you.
