Sister City - Soundtrack My Summer Lyrics

I was drunk and you were stoned
As we so often were
Stumbled into a midnight show
At the dollar theater
Laughed at the screen and made our jokes
Sitting in the front row seats alone
You touched my hand and kissed my neck
But you never really did much more than that

Those memories of you of mine
Have a certain neon shine
Even though I always knew
I was just a way to pass your time

I let you soundtrack my summer
But make no mistake
I know and I knew that I didn't mean a single thing to you
And all that we said and did
Would amount to nothing in the end but still
I let you soundtrack my summer

We used to climb up high and drink
Atop the billboard above the quarry
You'd ignore the limestone stink
And laugh at all my rambled stories
And I nodded as you told me
How you miss the lakes and you need the cold
How someday soon you'd have them both

The hours between
The time the bars closed and the sun rose
Those were ours
We thought we were tearing that town apart
We were wrong, of course, but it didn't matter
We were still the only ones awake
But make no mistake

I let you soundtrack my summer
But make no mistake
I know and I knew that I didn't mean a single thing to you
And all that we said and did
Would amount to nothing in the end but still
I let you soundtrack my summer

Those memories of you of mine
Have a certain neon shine
Floorboard strewn with mix CDs
The songs are all that's left and that's fine

I let you soundtrack my summer
But make no mistake
I know and I knew that I didn't mean a goddamn thing to you
And all that we said and did
Would amount to nothing in the end but still
I let you soundtrack my summer

But I let you, make no mistake, I let you
Make sure you get the story straight
