maybe now
maybe now
we can lay all our
weariness down

it was the hottest summer ever
and the traffic was a monster
it was keeping me from smiling
and I wished that it would end

you were sitting right beside me
going nowhere on the BQE
but the traffic and the weather
didn't get you down

it was the hottest summer ever
when we got into the big park
I was thinking of an ending
we were barely even friends

you were sitting right beside me
with your hand on my hand
and we were making the kind of plans
that didn't mean anything

not tonight
not ever
again
will I take you

not tonight
not ever
again
for granted

it was the hottest day on record
the traffic was a monster
it was keeping me from smiling
and I wished that it would end

you were sitting right beside me
with your hand on my hand
and we were making the kind of plans
that didn't need any words
didn't need

any words
