Dusk & Summer Lyrics - Dusk And Summer - Dashboard Confessional

She smiled in a big way, the way a girl like that smiles 

When the world is hers and she held your eyes 

Out in the breezeway down by the shore in the lazy summer 

And she pulled you in, and she bit your lip, and she made you hers 

She looked deep into you as you lay together quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer 

But you've already lost 

When you only had barely enough to hang on 

And she combed your hair, and she kissed your teeth 

And she made you better than you'd been before 

She told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer 

And she told you, laughing down to her core, so she would not cry as she lay in your lap 

She said "nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer"

But you've already lost 

When you only had barely enough to hang on

She said, "no one is alone the way you are alone" 

And you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known 

Some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure 

Days like that should last and last and last 

But you've already lost 

When you only had barely enough of her to hang on
