Another Summer 

On the boardwalk

His skin was brown 

As a rosary bead

The year before

He was everybody's hero

But he was losing ground 

And gaining speed

It could've been a girl

Or just one good hand of poker

That could've turned 

The whole damn thing around

But that July

Something was lost

That never did get found



He was the sun 

That was waiting to rise

He had the look 

Of a king in his eyes

And everything

Everything was possible

And now he just laughs 

And says what the hell

And clings to the secret 

That He'll never tell

But I wish I knew 

What kind of scar

Can turn a sun into 

Just another falling star



Now I get this déjà-vu

And I don't really like it

With this friend of mine 

That can't get it in his brain

He's a diamond lost

Inside the stone

He's a player born 

To win the game

But he's gonna blow it all

The brass rings in his finger

And I gotta watch 

As he throws it away

He's like a song

That's rare and right

That no one's gonna play



He is a sun 

That is waiting to rise

He's got the look 

Of a king in his eyes

And everything

Everything is possible

And now he just laughs 

And say's what the hell

And clings to the secret 

That he'll never tell

But I wish I knew

What kind of scar

Can turn a sun into 

Just another falling star

Oh just another falling star



And someone explain it 

Cause I don't know why

Some people live like 

They're waiting to die 

And I wish I knew 

What kind of scar 

Can turn a sun into 

Just another falling star

Oh just another falling star
