Summer Jams

from The Sound of Alekesam by Alekesam

/

lyrics

the sun comes out and every bodies everywhere
placing bets and chasing thrills
the summer jams are leaking thru your window sill
across the ocean through the hills
it shouldn't come as some revelation
it called a week ago and made a reservation

all we ever wanted all we ever needed is here right now
all we ever wanted all we ever needed is here right now

the girls ride by with the booming systems
it burns in your eye in case you thought that you missed them
its all in the air, it beats in your chest
you wear your stress like a sundress
it shouldn't come as some revelation
light up the phones make a request at the station

all we ever wanted all we ever needed is here right now
all we ever wanted all we ever needed is here right now
all we ever wanted was to be there and feel it all night long
all we ever needed was the music to tell us what went wrong

you, you need to let go, you need to be fine
can't you see we are shoveling sunshine
you, you need to let go, you need to be fine
can't you see we are shoveling sunshine

all we ever wanted all we ever needed is here right now
all we ever wanted all we ever needed is here right now
all we ever wanted was to be there and feel it all night long
all we ever needed was the music to tell us what went wrong
