It's ironic it's Platonic 'cause the clothes are in a pile by the bed
And he looks at her and laughs, and she giggles as she goes to kill the light
'Cause it can't be a coincidence that every time August starts to wind down
They find themselves together in the shadows of a dying summer's night
And it's the funniest thing
'Cause you can pretty much mark it on your calendar
She makes him feel like he's fifteen all over again
So when the leaves are on the verge of turning
That's the time he starts to love her 'cause a summer ain't a summer
Til he kisses Katie
They like to make excuses as to why he should be coming over later
He tells her it's essential 'cause they gotta plan for color war
Weary from the day like every other day chasing round the children
The difference come with darkness when they realize what the darkness is for
And it's a beautiful thing
'Cause you don't see planned spontaneity often
He makes her feel like she's fifteen all over again
So when the kids are sleeping all around them
They're hidden underneath the covers 'cause a summer ain't a summer
Til he kisses Katie
We should really do this more often
We should really figure things out
F-ck it, we can figure things out later
And they settle for each other
He's thinking, I don't wanna grow up, once we start to grow up,
We can't be young and dumb, I know we'll have to figure things out
And it's the funniest thing
'Cause you can pretty much mark it on your calendar
She makes him feel like he's fifteen all over again
So when her gifts are wrapped and the cake is in the oven
That's the time he starts to love her hidden underneath the covers
'Cause a summer ain't a summer, no a summer ain't a summer
Til he kisses Katie
