There's a place I know Within the borders of my mind There's a girl, a season That I've kissed a thousand times Sudden loss of gravity Sudden urge to fly Comes alive Within the heart of summer There's a prophecy, a tale On how to read this blissful signs But I'm restless and naive And now I'm stuck between the line A moment of distraction Away for me to find Comes alive Within the heart of summer Even when I close my eyes I see Images of perfect harmony Isn't that the way it's got to be? In the heart of summer Even when I close my eyes I see Images of perfect harmony Isn't that the way it's got to be? As I wake To face and greet The fall of autumn leaves There's a part of me that knows That you're not ready to receive This moment of distraction A sudden urge to fly As we dive Into the heart of summer Even when I close my eyes I see Images of perfect harmony Isn't that the way it's got to be? In the heart of summer Even when I close my eyes I see Images of perfect harmony Isn't that the way it's got to be? Oh, I've put my faith in this illusion An it's the only way for me To face reality Even when I close my eyes I see Images of perfect harmony Isn't that the way it's got to be? In the heart of summer
