Verse 1:
                     
  Summer swallowed us whole
           
Waited for you to come around
    
  Every word you wrote
                        
Down, we read it over to know
             
Would they believe in us now?
         
  There’s no shame like no
                                
Sound from sources hits close to home
     
Everything that we’ve found
               
Says make your own destiny But


Chorus:
                 
  You’re unaware that you
           
Should be scared

Maybe you’ll learn from
  
mistakes that we make
                     
  We’re not waiting forever
                       
We know you’ll never be there
                     
  We’re not waiting forever
       D           Bm       G-----
If you get out See you there

Verse 2:
                     
  Summer swallowed us whole
           
Waited for you to come around
         
  There’s no shame like no

You’re not awake As I’m aware

Bridge:
          
Maybe we had all you
                     
Figured absolutely wrong
               
There’s been a misunderstanding
                
We’ve had all along
          
Maybe we had all you
                     
Figured absolutely wrong
(Maybe we had all you
Figured absolutely wrong)
               
You can read about
(You can read)
