lyrics

Tar Beach

the heat is killing me
so we’ll go up to our tar beach
on the roof
there’s no water & there’s no sand
but I read a book and we can pretend
and it will do me

and we’re getting away with it
if only for a little bit

you’re close to my heart....

c’mon c’mon c’mon
the summer’s nearly gone
and I declare: we’ve done less than nothing
the days are long
the nights are gone
and I can’t tell between them

I push you back against the fridge
I can taste it on your lips

you’re close to my heart....

the heat is killing me
so we’ll go up to our tar beach
on the roof
there’s no water, and I’ve never seen the sand
but I read a book and think we can pretend
and it will do me

beneath a sun that never sets
chasing all we’ll never catch

you’re close to my heart....
you’re getting close to my heart.
