heath mcnease - still july lyrics

[verse 1: heath mcnease]
i promise not to write
if you promise not to call
we were perfect in july
but autumn found our flaws
i see you by the tree
that you carved our names inside
we were perfect in the sun
in the winter we’re a lie
yeah i still [?] with you
and that’s overk!ll if you over the hill and
you don’t believe in new
beginnings and severing ties when everything dies
but i believe you do
it’s still july for me and you
we tried to fight the fever through till it breaks
but now we’re freezing too
when the winter storms h-t, i wasn’t prepared
i was thinking ’bout gold in your hair
i was thinking how no one was there to correct me or judge
and no one was scared
if the perfect love’s meant to cast out fear
then we ain’t perfect
if you want someone else to be a subst-tute
then we ain’t worth it
we’re living a lie no one sees
but your lie is alive in my dreams
and i can survive on my dreams
survive on my dreams
we live in a lie no one sees
but your lie is alive in my dreams
and i am alive when she sings
alive when she sings

[chorus: jetty rae]
summer time
living in an easy heat
makes me wonder why
all the warm disappears when you’re not near

[verse 2: heath mcnease]
the color leaves my face
when october comes
so far removed from june
laughing as we burn
and i won’t pretend to care
if you promise not to call
cause tears on august one
are forgotten by the fall
fall is a life sentence
autumn’s a dire image of knives ripping july into this lie
until the light’s dimming
your smile’s missing
we try to just survive winter
but time isn’t this kind mistress
that nihilism and mileage and denial limits her dying vision
and no one believes we can make it
i know what they mean when they say
that truth is a pill that’s jagged as h-ll
and it hurts in the moment yet both of us take it
cause we live it the real world
where a barricade leads to a road block
that leads to a detour, leads to a barrier
leads to a dead end sign and it don’t stop

[bridge]
the absence of the light
doesn’t mean the darkness overcomes
’cause we can all survive without the sunlight
when it’s gone
ooh the absence of the truth
doesn’t mean a lie can take its place
the purpose of deceit is to displace but then it fades

[chorus: jetty rae]
summer time
living in an easy heat
makes me wonder why
all the warm disappears when you’re not near
now we’re falling down
like a little a little autumn tear
we’re fading out
were we ever standing here?
it is unclear

[interlude: heath mcnease & jetty rae]
i promise not to call
if you promise not to write
and we’ll find another tree
to carve our names inside
fall for someone new
in the middle of july
we were perfect in the sun
in the winter we’re a lie

i promise not to call
if you promise not to write
and we’ll find another tree
to carve our names inside
fall for someone new
in the middle of july
we were perfect in the sun
in the winter we’re a lie

[chorus: jetty rae]
summer time
living in an easy heat
makes me wonder why
all the warm disappears when you’re not near
now we’re falling down
like a little autumn tear
we’re fading out
were we ever standing here?
it is unclear
