Words & Music by Jameson Fox, 2021
Sitting at home in the summer heat
I search for something on T.V.
And when I get ‘round again,
I find that there’s nothing for me
Lately, it seems I’ve been stalled at work
Lost my focus for whatever it’s worth
No more is it first
And it’s getting worse
Can’t I see that all I need
Is something to take, take from me
These silent nights and the summer heat
Wasting away never felt good to me
Can’t sit still or relax with some tea
Drink a cup for me
I need your better energy
Sorry to complicate your week
You’re the one my attention seeks
Cause you know that you can
Awake me from my sleep
Can’t I see that all I need
Is something to take, take from me
These silent nights and the summer heat
I don’t like being paralyzed
Mesmerized, more or less alive
So when I struggle this way
I need you to be my light
Still sitting at home in the summer heat
Searching for something on T.V.
And when I get ‘round again
I still find nothing for me
And when I get ‘round again
I find there’s nothing for me
Can’t I see that all I need
Is something to take, take from me
These silent nights and the summer heat
