[Verse 1:]
Please, picture me in the trees,
I hit my peak at seven
Feet in the swing over the creek,
I was too scared to jump in,
But I, I was high in the sky
With Pennsylvania under me,
Are there still beautiful things?
[Chorus:]
Sweet tea in the summer,
Cross your heart, won't tell no other
And though I can't recall your face,
I still got love for you.
Your braids like a pattern,
Love you to the Moon and to Saturn,
Passed down like folk songs,
The love lasts so long.
[Verse 2:]
And I've been meaning to tell you
I think your house is haunted,
Your dad is always mad and that must be why,
And I think you should come live with me,
And we can be pirates,
Then you won't have to cry
Or hide in the closet,
And just like a folk song
Our love will be passed on.
[Bridge:]
Please, picture me in the weeds,
Before I learned civility
I used to scream ferociously
Any time I wanted.
[Chorus:]
Sweet tea in the summer
Cross my heart, won't tell no other,
And though I can't recall your face
I still got love for you.
Pack your dolls and a sweater,
We'll move to India forever,
Passed down like folk songs,
Our love lasts so long.
