The Summer Lyrics - Josh Pyke

If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it over to your house 

And pour it loose through your garden 

So the hinges on your windows would rust and colour 

Like the boats pulled up on the sand for the summer 

And your sweet clean clothes would go stiff on the line 

And there'd be sand in your pockets and nothing on your mind 

But every year it gets a little bit harder 

To get back to the feeling of when we were fifteen 

And we could jump in the river upstream 

And let the current carry us to the beginning where 

The river met the sea again 

And all our days were a sun-drenched haze 

While the salt spray crusted on the window panes 

We should be living like we lived that summer 

I wanna live like we live in the summer 

We should be living like we lived that summer 

I wanna live like we live in the summer 

We should be living like we lived that summer 

I wanna live like we live in the summer 

And I'll remember that summer as the right one 

The storms made the pavement steam like a kettle 

And our first goodbye always seemed like hours 

In the car park in between my house and yours 

And if the summer holds a song we might sing forever 

Then the winter holds a bite we'd never felt before 

We should be living like we lived that summer 

I wanna live like we live in the summer 

We should be living like we lived that summer 

I wanna live like we live in the summer 

We should be living like we lived that summer 

I wanna live like we live in the summer 

But time is like the ocean 

You can only hold a little in your hands 

So we swim before we're broken 

Before our bones become 

Black coral on the sand 

We should be living like we lived that summer 

I wanna live like we live in the summer 

We should be living like we lived that summer 

I wanna live like we live in the summer 

We should be living like we lived that summer 

I wanna live like we live in the summer 

If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it over to your house 

And pour it loose through your garden
