lyrics

Another Summer goes Falling into Spring,
A new year appears in a lightening flash,
Don't look back.
Piece by piece and line by line,
I try to hold it together for at least one more night.
I tell myself that we'll be fine tomorrow,
But you,

Break me down just to build me up again.
Another project for your long weekend, and,
You'll drive me crazy 'til i try to pretend,
I'm a ship in a bottle, a ship in a bottle.

The greens and the blues that remind me of you,
Are blurred like the lines between cartoons and news,
In the paper you read, on your T.V. screen,
Am i, just helping you get by?

Break me down just to build me up again.
Another project for your long weekend, and,
You'll drive me crazy 'til i try to pretend,
I'm a ship in a bottle, a ship in a bottle.

From the outside, looking in,
There's a storm still brewing.
I guess these Summer squalls come natural to me.
From the outside, looking in,
There's a storm still brewing.
I guess these Summer squalls come natural to me.

So naturally,
I draw the blinds and light one up just to put me to sleep.
It's days like these,
I want no memory of where we went wrong,
And I, just wanna float on.
Just wanna float on...

So why don't you,
Break me down just to build me up again.
Another project for your long weekend, and,
You'll drive me crazy 'til i try to pretend,
I'm a ship in a bottle, a ship in a bottle.
