Songtexte Child of Summer - First Aid Kit

Always wanted to be a child of summer
Maybe, that would change my disposition
I've been running around all these years
Praying for some kind of intermission

And I never minded loneliness
In fact, I craved it, like a hunger
And now I find myself alone, again
In the sorrow that takes me under

Born under the full, bright moon
I guess, that's what made me crazy
Wonder how our love could fade away
Perhaps, we just got lazy

I never minded loneliness
Until it came to claim me
So when I found myself alone, again
I cry like a baby

Oh, love
Keep the weight off my shoulders
Keep the wind at my back
Oh, love
If I'm not there, am I on the right track?

Are you still wearing your blue raincoat?
The one that's torn at the shoulder
We used to dance and laugh and sing
With no thought of ever growing older
And I never needed reassurance
From some kind of higher power
Now I find myself wandering in my lonely hours

And I keep thinking there's a place to go
Somewhere I can start over
I'll just wander this big ol' world
End up another deadbeat rover

But if I needed company
Would you be there to guide me?
If there's no path for me to take
Then I'll wait for it to find me

Oh, love
Keep the weight off my shoulders
Keep the wind at my back
Oh, love
If I'm not there, am I on the right track?

I've always wanted to be a child of summer
Maybe, that would change my disposition
