Summer Skin

If All Else Fails
Tonight trees part for the crescent moon
On a cool 3am
I'm driving, and every light is stopped on green
Unwavering, content
We"¦can we always be this free
I'm coasting; an empty road requires my thoughts
I'm in love and comply
How this short trip could inspire such sentiment
Escapes me and that's fine
We"¦can we always be this free
Listen to me cuz I swear there has got to be more to all of this
A prevalent essence that escapes the science we've learned
I'll remember to thank God for a night like this
My condition, so fragile, insignificant
And yet all that there is
Those before me, and the millions yet to come
Will live for love like this
We"¦can we always be this free
Listen to me cuz I swear there has got to be more to all of this
A prevalent essence that escapes the science we've learned
Life's too poetic to be systematically sound and defined
My summer skin is alive in the darkest of night
I'll remember, I must remember, to thank God for a night like this
