Impossible Summer Lyrics by Wilder Maker

Zion

2018

She said “do you realize there’s nothing keeping us here at all?”
We leaned there stunned, went home and filled a plastic pool on the roof
We drank wine and touched each other, it got cool but we stayed in the water
Hearing city birds, floating oh so slowly back to our twin minds
Our debts and grudges and thirsts

I cannot explain that summer
I cannot explain that summer

The salvation of a cold beer in a scalding shower when
She brought me back to drops beading on flesh I forgot I had
Every failure came to haunt me cause I thought to be a man
Was to never lose or question I looked all around at them
Studied their expensive clothing, nonchalance studied their hands
On the tight curves of their women wondered who had taught them how
To see only one way

By and by the pool grew a city of green algae and scum
The dog came round to cool his fast heart from the sun
And the water grew opaque
More and more each day
Like a strange accusation

I cannot explain that summer
I cannot explain that summer

The salvation of a cold beer in a scalding shower when
She brought me back to drops beading on flesh I forgot I had
Every failure came to haunt me with the coffee growing cold
Christmas lights forgot and burned out in the rain out on the porch
Like a dreamer who's still dreaming I just can’t stop fucking up

I tried so hard, I tried so hard to be perfect but I’m not
As if that would have been enough
