Lyrics
Hey summer glow,
I knew you dazzled brightly,
But I didn't know your beams refracted sharply,
Leaving shaded forms upon the wall to eclipse the dangling dolls.
And my love is thus,
A blazing supernova,
Just a lot of fuss for madly threading water.
At the juncture of dissevered light is where I come tonight,
Here I'm free and I'm alive.
It's a getaway,
It's a getaway in here,
It's a getaway,
It's a getaway here.
And it's a getaway,
It's a getaway in here,
It's a getaway,
It's a getaway here.
And the wind may howl and heave the stubborn fixtures,
With the brawling growl of a tempest in the winter.
But in this place,
The air is sealed,
The walls are sleepy still.
So, I slip away on vibrations from the timbre of a soft refrain,
Heavy as a whisper,
And all across its melody the scales entangle me,
And it's here I'm free.
For it's here,
You see
It's a getaway,
It's a getaway in here,
It's a getaway,
It's a getaway here.
And it's a getaway,
It's a getaway in here,
It's a getaway,
It's a getaway here.
