In The Summer Lyrics - Outsiders - Jesse Malin

I met her down on Bond Street on the streets of cobblestone 

She had a spark like Joan of Arc, like no one else I've known 

We traded up some stories at the Cassavetes bar 

It was early June, I'd become immune to collisions in the stars 

And we're living in the summer, it can really do a number 

Living in the summer and I'm trying to recover 

Living in the summer and I hope to see another 

Down by love 

In my boots and braces I thought I was pretty tough 

She sang me songs and read me poems and then she called my bluff 

The celibate summer was all about repair 

Just take some time, ease your mind, and it will all be there 

And we're living in the summer, it can really do a number 

Living in the summer and I'm trying to recover 

Living in the summer and I hope to see another 

Down by love 

Wake up calls from England in Greenwich Standard Time 

I jumped right up and tried my luck, it was just some friends of mine 

I went back to New York and hit all of the spots 

I was east of 3rd as I heard the words "to have and to have not" 

And we're living in the summer, it can really do a number 

Living in the summer and I'm trying to recover 

Living in the summer and I hope to see another 

Down by love
