(Rosanne Cash) The summer was the k**er Between our hearts and minds Every day a drama Dragging by in quarter time By summer it was over I couldn't see it through Trying not to lose my mind While I was leaving you Our friends are in the halfway house You're still on the mend Don't know if I've changed at all But I'm in love with you again We're all in the halfway house Or so it sometimes seems Trying to find the truth inside Instead of getting by on dreams In summer we were blinded We thought it couldn't last Crying 'bout the future And fighting 'bout the past
The summer was no bargain And look at us today Running from the memory of The price we had to pay Our friends are in the halfway house You're still on the mend Don't know if I've changed at all But I'm In love with you again We're all in the halfway house Or so it sometimes seems Trying to find the truth inside Instead of getting by on dreams We're all in the halfway house Or so it sometimes seems Trying to find the truth inside Instead of getting by on dreams We're all in the halfway house I guess I always knew You could give up on yourself But I could not give up on you
