I ran off to a zoo, and I'll miss you in the jungle too It was the fall of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, firewood I said I'd never miss you but I guess you never know With the pictures I have burned in my brain Back home on the fall of July I'll be as honest as you let me I'll miss your early morning company If you get me, you are my favorite one here You are my best, I'll live alone I'm starting to forget Just what summer ever meant to you What did it ever mean to you? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of it I just got to learn to play the role In between being young and being right You were my first sight at night It was the fall of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, firewood I ran off to a zoo, and I'll miss you in the jungle too It was the fall of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, firewood I said I'd never miss you but I guess you never know With the pictures I have burned in my brain Back home on the fall of July One under five is cutting open old scars Again and again till I'm stuck in your head I had my doubts but I let them out all the time Cause I'm the holy water, you have been with me And all my thoughts of you They could be all through the room alone Don't tell me you cried Oh honey, you don't have to lie Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of it I just got to learn to play the role In between being young and being right You were my first sight at night It was the fall of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, firewood I ran off to a zoo, and I'll miss you in the jungle too It was the fall of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, firewood I said I'd never miss you but I guess you never know With the pictures I have burned in my brain Back home on the fall of July I wish I'd known how much you loved me I wish I cared enough to know I'm sorry every song's about you The torture of small talk With someone you used to love It was the fall of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, firewood I ran off to a zoo, and I'll miss you in the jungle too It was the fall of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, firewood I said I'd never miss you but I guess you never know With the pictures I have burned in my brain Back home on the fall of July
