Dismantling Summer

[Verse 1] I'm pulling wings off insects I'm peeling back my sunburnt skin I'll wait outside your bedroom I hope they let me in I'm filling your prescriptions The orange bottles stare me down They're standing at attention An army on your windowsill We're all waiting for good news Hoping you can come home soon We're all waiting for good news [Chorus] I've been acting like I'm strong But the truth is, I've been losing ground To a hospital too crowded A summer winding down I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now [Verse 2] I grew up on your back porch And I watched the storms light up the clouds They hung like paper lanterns To guide the way back toward your house I've been putting off long flights Hoping that you'll be all right And I'll be there in the meantime [Chorus] [Bridge x3] If I'm in an airport And you're in a hospital bed Well, then, what kind of man does that make me? [Chorus x2]
