About All the Sounds of Summer:
Part 2 in a two part song series about feeling depressed, all the sounds of summer are calling you to leave your own negative thought patterns and go out into the world. Maybe those sounds are crows squawking, children playing, or a man with a Sarah Palin tattoo screaming at random people at a bus stop about fly-fishing. Whatever it is, put on your pants, open your front door, and walk out into that thing. – Tim Perry
Lyrics:
Please god, give me just a little bit of strength
To roll myself out of this bed
And I promise not to worry about the time that it takes
Or doubt myself instead
Out in the world, you know, I feel as if I’m naked
Overthinking everything I say before I say it
I don’t wanna make it worse, but that’s what I’m afraid of
And I really wanna go outside
And I feel my feet beneath me
The door behind my back
And all the sounds of summer
Calling me from where they’re at
No, don’t it seem so easy
When your guard is always down
Yeah don’t it seem so easy,
Well it isn’t that easy now
I know it’s all in focus
Somewhere I haven’t been
But I haven’t even got the slightest
Clue where to begin
I’d say it all so plainly
If the words were on my tongue
But what’s the use in talking
When you’re far from everyone
And nothing’s left but awkwardness
I’d will myself to leave somehow
I want it to be easy
But it isn’t that easy now
