 ♪ Climbing up the tower ♪ 

 ♪ Just a boy and his computer ♪ 

 ♪ I'm still in my bathrobe ♪ 

 ♪ Hiding in the shadows ♪ 

 ♪ I'm not used to losing ♪ 

 ♪ Bye, bye, sugar blue eyes ♪

 ♪ Yeah, it feels like summer ♪   ♪ Yeah, it feels like summer ♪ 

 ♪ And she was a lover to me, to me, to me, to me ♪ 

 ♪ Which way is the graveyard? ♪ 

 ♪ I'm an iceberg with a warm heart ♪ 

 ♪ I'm spiritual, not religious ♪ 

 ♪ I'm a Libra, if it matters ♪ 

 ♪ Shattered by an email ♪ 

 ♪ Your words will fade away ♪ 

 ♪ Castle built in the sand ♪ 

 ♪ Will only last one day ♪ 

 ♪ I'm holding on and I don't want to let you go, oh ♪ 

 ♪ Yeah, it feels like summer (It feels like summer) ♪ 

 ♪ Yeah, it feels like summer to me ♪ 

 ♪ Yeah, it feels like summer (It feels like summer) ♪ 

 ♪ Yeah, it feels like summer ♪ 

 ♪ When she was a lover to me ♪ 

 ♪ June bride, shine so bright ♪ 

 ♪ Flowers in her hair, but it just ain't right ♪ 

 ♪ June bride, shine so bright ♪ 

 ♪ Flowers in her hair, we look good together, oh yeah ♪ 

 ♪ We look good together, oh yeah ♪ 

 ♪♪ 

[Spoken] Yeah, yeah that's another confusing thing. Um

 ♪♪ 

 ♪ Yeah, it feels like summer (It feels like summer) ♪ 

 ♪ Yeah, it feels like summer ♪   ♪ When she was a lover to me ♪ 

 ♪ Let me see the smile, stay with me awhile ♪
