[Verse 1] Losing all my friends Losing them to drinking and to driving Losing all my friends I want them back Slipping out the back Did you really think they wouldn't notice? Slipping out the back In the pouring rain Yeah Yeah [Verse 2] Well you love his wife Loved her, was faithful to her always Buried both the kids In the summer sun Praying for his life Huddled in the brig hold with his shipmates Praying for his life And we dropped the bomb Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, yeah [Verse 3] What you waiting for? Searching for your brother In an empty room across the hall Is he coming back? Listening at night Waiting for a sound to come up the stairs Listening at night Waiting for the sound of the car park Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah, yeah [Chorus] Call him up this summer on the phone Let him know what it feels like again Summer skin Found another lover Tell him straight, one time at night I'll come 'round again Tell him I'm coming 'round the end, yeah I'm coming 'round the end [Verse 4] Tying both your shoes Looking past the ocean for a signal Waiting for a bottle In the open water They don't send you letters They don't telephone you They don't send you letters But you're waiting for them You're writing Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah [Chorus] Call him up this summer on the phone Let him know you feel love again I'm coming 'round the end Call him up this summer on the phone Let him know what it feels like again In summer skin, yeah
