The summer sun It blows my mind It's falling down on all that I've ever known Time to kiss the world goodbye Falling down on all that I've ever known Is all that I've ever known A dying scream It makes no sound Calling out to all that I've ever known Here am I, lost and found Calling out to all We live a dying dream If you know what I mean All that I've ever known It's all that I've ever known Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide I tried to talk with God to no avail Calling my name and out of nowhere I said "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time" (All that I've ever known) (It's all that I've ever known) Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide I tried to talk with God to no avail Calling my name and out of nowhere I said "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time" The summer sun It blows my mind It's falling down on all that I've ever known Time to kiss the world goodbye Falling down on all that I've ever known Is all that I've ever known
