You know I'm hoping that you hear this song Maybe you can learn the words and you can sing along Summertime, everything's fine Sitting on the grass and sipping white wine Mixing Lauryn Hill with just funk and grime Everything sounds better in the sunshine (Better In the sunshine) Everything sounds better in the summertime Someone's playing the saxophone And I never want to go home Sometimes I like being alone in a place Where I am completely unknown I'm slipping downstream If you know what I mean In my head I play my piano Syncopation I clap my hands I know you think that I need a halo So let me go to another land I know I'm naive Like you wouldn't believe In my head I play my piano Syncopation I tap my foot There's no heaven but I need a halo Give me back the blood you took There's no heaven but I want to fly oh I'm slipping downstream if you know what I mean I'm just tryna get my mood to match the weather So I can say "I've never been better" She asks me if I want to share her cigarette, never But maybe I can taste the smoke on her lips if I'm clever I know I've got a screw face on A stranger asks me what's wrong I just told them to move it along Cause I'm trying to concentrate, listen to the bird song And I'm Taking it one day at a time Hoping that my heartbreak would manifest itself in a rhyme Praying hard that the universe will give me a sign Counting the clock, time won't stop but I'm caught I tell her goodbye She argues, asking me why She knows I'm 18 My family won't mind where I've been Now I'm wondering if it was real The sun's got me confused And I don't know what to feel I don't know what to feel Tell me was it real? Or was it a dream? I'm slipping downstream If you know what I mean It was a dream I'm so naive Like you wouldn't believe In my head I play my piano Syncopation I clap my hands There's no heaven but I need a halo Better let me go to another land Summertime, everything's fine Sitting on the grass and sipping white wine Mixing Lauryn Hill with just funk and grime Everything sounds better in the sunshine That thing, that thing, that thing
