The Lazy Summer State

Verse 1

Old porch swing

Creaking like a rusted gate

Sunlight hits the dirt

Dust

Lazy summer state

Bottle caps and clover

Counting crows on the wire

Chorus

Ain't doing nothing today

Ain't doing nothing at all

Just watching the grass grow tall

Just watching the shadows crawl

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

Verse 2

Stained coffee mug

Cold since half past nine

Shadows on the rug

Slow

Drinking up the time

Maybe I'll go walking

Maybe I'll just sit

Maybe I'll forget it

Chorus

Ain't doing nothing today

Ain't doing nothing at all

Just watching the grass grow tall

Just watching the shadows crawl

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

Bridge

The clock is tired of ticking

The dog is tired of barking

The world is tired of spinning

I'm just winning by losing the race

No more lace on my shoes

No more news in my head

Verse 3

Paper pile

Growing on the kitchen chair

Stay a little while

Gone

Finger through the air

Wind is whistling low

Blowing back the blame

Chorus

Ain't doing nothing today

Ain't doing nothing at all

Just watching the grass grow tall

Just watching the shadows crawl

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

Post-Chorus

La la la

Leaving it behind

La la la

Mending up my mind

Doing nothing

Outro

Sun goes down

Still right here

No more fear

No more sound

Nothing at all
