End of Summer
The Killer And The Star Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've never been down
You always see the good in everything
If you let it slip away it will tear you apart
You've never been down
You always see the killer in the woods
If he sets his sights on you, he could eat you alive

Maybe it's my fault
Maybe I'm to blame
Could this be the end of summer?
Maybe it's my fault
Maybe I'm to blame
Could this be the end of summer?

You've never been down
You always see the good in everything
When you played with your soul
You commit with a smile
You've never been down
You always see the killer in the woods
If he sets his sights on you, he could eat you alive

Maybe it's my fault
Maybe I'm to blame
Could this be the end of summer?
Maybe it's my fault
Maybe I'm to blame
Could this be the end of summer?

This is not your day to play
Only faith could got you here
Did your moon just fall apart?
Send a star to replace your soul
Love wouldn't let you stay
It's like God was here

Maybe it's my fault
Maybe I'm to blame
Could this be the end of summer?
Maybe it's my fault




Maybe I'm to blame
Could this be the end of summer?
