lyrics

In the long light of the afternoon I saw your eyes were green / But they darkened with the days and turned out brown / So I’ve learned not to rely on what I think my eyes have seen / Or what change I’ll find next time you come around / I liked you better in the summer / Don’t bother with the buttons, pull the shirt over your head / I liked you better in the summer / I’d swear your hair was a brighter shade of red / I used to know / Where your every freckle seemed to grow / And I had this dream that you and me were lovers / Back when I liked you / I liked you better in the summer / What’s shared seems so enormous / The differences so small / That you wonder if they hold any significance at all / The future’s still uncertain / With happiness this huge / You can’t fathom having anything to lose / It was on inauguration night I saw you at the bar / Your pretty face was looking bleaker than the snow / Your hair was cut and colorless, your eyes were looking tired / And that smile that used to shimmer left me cold / I liked you better in the summer / Don’t bother with the buttons, pull the shirt over your head / I liked you better in the summer / I’d swear your hair was a brighter shade of red / I used to know / Where and when that I could find you till the time you had to go / And I used to think that maybe we’d be lovers / Back when I liked you / I liked you better in the summer / Summer / Now that the wind’s warm on my shoulders / I wish it was your hands / I’m remembering your welcome invitations once again / They’re nothing now but memories / But still it feels like June / So I’ll sink into that sunny afternoon / I liked you better in the summer / I liked you better in the summer / Don’t bother with the buttons, pull the shirt over my head / I liked you better in the summer / That hair of yours, such a brilliant shade of red / I still know / How you sounded when you smiled your hello / And so I’ll happily imagine we were lovers / And that I like you / I really liked you that one summer / Summer
