Lyrics The Rocket Summer

The Rocket Summer

Anna

I didn't know real pain until I fell down

I never knew how to swim until I nearly drowned

I didn't know relief until I broke down...

Oh that was the best day

I didn't know hindsight until it broke my heart.

I didn't know how to sail until the winds blew so hard.

And hard ships I sailed and hardships left scars...

Oh, that was the best day.

And I just have to say

Oh Anna, lift your head, come on Anna

The doctor said,

Oh Anna, I can see you're running, running around upset

Oh Anna, lift your head, come on Anna

You're not walking dead

Oh Anna, it will get harder and harder if you don't get a grip

I didn't know how to fight until I went to war.

I didn't know what I had 'til I had gone too far.

And when she broke my heart I started playing guitar...

Oh, that was the best day.

Oh Anna, lift your head, come on Anna

The doctor said,

Oh Anna, I can see you're running, running around upset

Oh Anna, lift your head, come on Anna

You're not walking dead

Oh Anna, it will get harder and harder if you don't get a grip

You stare at that blindness, you might just lose your sight

I lost my sight

By drinking the poison hoping another guy dies

I lost my sight

Oh how I know we're halfway right

Oh Anna, lift your head, come on Anna

The doctor said,

Oh Anna, I can see you're running, running around upset

Oh Anna, lift your head, come on Anna

You can handle it

Oh Anna, it will get harder and harder if you don't get a grip

Annabelle we never chose the war

Will you choose to fight?
