	A newborn! Very mood driven, introspective, and personal. My muses were having a very reflective, melancholy day when they gave me this. A simple arrangement of piano and vocals.

	Story Behind the Song Sat down at the piano one Saturday afternoon, and this melody floated out. The lyrics were much trickier. They came to me piece by piece during a span of several weeks, but I think that it all came together nicely. As always, the lyrics are up to your own interpretation :o) And I apologize for the low-quality keyboard I had to use. I've only started teaching myself to play the piano recently, so I haven't been able to get a good keyboard yet. But hopefully that'll change sometime in the future. Enjoy. Lyrics "Smell of Summer" Are your eyes closed? I envy you Can you turn off your empathy like a light switch? You fling your words like they're just air Stone-heavy, they weigh me down Why am I always left here? Sinking and picking up the pieces I keep waiting to wake up I keep waiting to fall asleep But Do you think the smell of summer can soak through the nightmare we've been living since you And in case you forget An addiction is a promise And you've made a lot of promises to me But anyways The clouds can't disappear without you here When did I become an option And not what you needed Breathless and scared, I call for you But the days keep falling around me My calendar claims it's spring But it hasn't convinced me The last of your faith sailed away with the last of my patience You leave me trembling sometimes Your aftermath But Do you think the smell of summer can soak through the nightmare we've been living since you And in case you forget An addiction is a promise And you've made a lot of promises to me Promises to me Do you think the smell of summer can soak through the nightmare we've been living since you And in case you forget An addiction is a promise And you've made a lot of promises to me
