You're sweet like a candy cane, I didn’t even know your name
You tell me you're leaving, you tell me you're gone
But you always stay until you hear your song
I go along

Chorus:
Dm              A#
In the summer blaze
Gm             C
Under melting days
Dm              A#
All tomorrow's skies
Gm             C
Feel it every time
Dm              A#
On my way to you
Gm             C
On my way to you

And while those days are gone,
do you know you were the only one?
Every disaster comes faster and faster
And everyone says it was fun while it lasted
It went right past us

Chorus:
In the summer blaze
Under melting days
All tomorrow's skies
Feel it every time

(You tell me you're leaving, you tell me you're gone)
(But you always stay until you hear your song)
Dm            A#
On my way to you (I go alone)
Gm            C
On my way to you
(You come to my window, you tell me you're high)

(Where do all the friends go when the fantasies die?)

Dm             A#
On my way to you (Only you know)
Gm             C
(Only you know)
