American Summer Songtext
von Avea

How′s it taste, the foreign air
As empty as I feel
If I could take you out of there
I'd finally leave your room
I pretend I still have you

Wonder how it feels to get your life signed away
I′ve wondered every day
Since you got your letter
Said you won't be gone forever

Can you really go and bury all of your sins
Underneath all of those pins
We just want our brothers

I don't ever wanna lose another
I just want
I just want
I just want an American summer

I hate to think you′re so cold and alone
I′ve been keeping your bed warm

I always wonder how it feels


It feels like death
It hasn't come for me yet
But I would die before
I seek out appeasement
I keep every letter that you′ve sent
And I count every day till we have our American summer

Can't come home yet
There′s not a date to be set
I'm terrified I might
Come home in a coffin
But I′ve got brothers
Out here keeping me safe
Just like I do
When I'm back home with you

If you could hear the things they say
How empty they must feel
Forced to watch it every day
And now it's all we know
Just take it slow
I won′t forget I gotta bring my brothers back home
I′ve been keeping your bed warm for what
For what


I could write for days
It always keeps me up
Sickness comes in waves
Like it's just not enough

I could write for days
It always keeps me up
One foot in the grave
Like it′s just not enough
Pistol on my waist
For all the ones I love
I still see your face
And it keeps me up

I promised my brothers I'd make it back home

Last summer
I wrote we′d be together
Since then it's felt like forever

For all the friends I′ll never speak with again
And for my family, all your love gives me reason
I won't stop fighting till I know you're all safe
And I count every day till we have our American summer
