lyrics

Thirty days in good company every year
Familiar taste of salt and sweat in the heat
Shadows long and summer storms roll near
You push me forward by burning my feet
I’m so glad you’re here again
You pull my tides, my seasonal friend
A sword and a pen
You show me two roads to choose

Dear June burn me up
Dear June hold me down
I wanna rise from the ashes in radiant love
Please put me back on my axis, be my olive branch from a dove

Each June another hopeful agenda
My alibi, you know all of my intentions
Your harsh glare could swallow my sunny addendum
You’re the priest’s holy silence, forgiving my clumsy confessions

I’m so glad you’re here again
You pull my tides, my seasonal friend
A sword and a pen
You show me two roads to choose

Back to square one
Lace up and run
Stitch in my side
Sunlight stinging my eyes
Back to square one
Lace up and run
Stitch in my side
Teardrops stinging my eyes
Back to square one
Lace up and run
Stitch in my side
Sunlight stinging my eyes
Back to square one
Lace up and run
Stitch in my side
Teardrops sting Jesus Christ
Burn me up

Dear June burn me up
Dear June hold me down
Dear June
June oh June
Oh
