Dashboard Confessional - Dusk And Summer

She smiled in a big way, the way a girl like that smiles
When the world is hers and she held your eyes
Out in the breezeway, down by the shore
In the lazy summer

And she pulled you in and she bit your lip and she made you hers
She looked deep into you as you lay together
Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer

But you've already lost, but you've already lost, but you've already lost
When you only had barely enough to hang on

And she combed your hair and she kissed your teeth
And she made you better than you'd been before
And she told you bad things you wished you could change
In the lazy summer And she told you, laughing down to her core
So she would not cry, as she lay in your lap
And she said, "Nobody here can live forever
Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer

But you've already lost, but you've already lost, but you've already lost
When you only had barely enough to hang on

She said "No one is alone the way you are alone"
And you held her looser than you would've if you ever could've known
Some things tie your life together, with slender threads and things to treasure
Days like that should last and last and last

But you've already lost, but you've already lost, but you've already lost
When you only had barely enough of her to hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on
