Summer Camp from Average Artwork by Frederick Julius

When we were young we ran around
a summer camp outside of town
Out by the pool I drew you in chalk;
tried to convince you to take a walk
While all the cabins went to bed
we made a break for my car instead

Be careful! You might not last the day!
Be careful! You might not last the day!
When you’re with her it’s all understood
When she leaves it don’t feel like it should
So be careful! You might not last the day!

And by the river where the trees stretched out
you told me what your heart hurt about
I dried your tears right before the dawn
and you walked back with my sweatshirt on
Now I can’t wait until you’re back around
that summer camp outside of town
