From the recording eTown's Handmade Songs Vol. 7
Lyrics
If I can hold on
To the last breath of summer
The last green leaf
And porch swing hours, and being warm
The last sunset
From the roof of the house we used to share
If I can hold on
To this summer
Where we’re alive and not broken
Alive
Not broken
Feeling
Not healing
Awake and existing
In this summer
Where we’re alive and not broken
Getting closer
To the month of October
All alone with
The wicked winds, and tight drawn curtains
Already missing
The hope I used to hold close
I need to hold on
To this summer
Where we’re alive and not broken
Alive
Not broken
Feeling
Not healing
Awake and existing
In this summer
Where we’re alive and not broken
Something ‘round here is getting colder
Is it just the weather?
I don’t know
This house was not meant for the snow
This heart was not built to let go
Alive
Not broken
In this summer
Where we’re alive
Not broken
Feeling
Not healing
Awake and existing
In this summer
Where we’re alive and not broken
Awake and existing
In this summer
Where we’re alive and not broken
