lyrics

how is july already over?
the fan's still in the window
there's a car parked on the shoulder
there's a cloud hanging low
and you say, "what do you want more than anything?"
and i say, "for you to already know"
tell me, how is july already over?
how do the nights move so slow?

how is the breeze in san francisco?
how far are we from maine?
no, i ain't packing up my overcoat
i'm tired of the rain
and you say, "how much further 'til we get there?"
and i say, "just keep your eyes on the road"
tell me, how is the breeze in san francisco?
how do the nights move so slow?

how long have i been dreaming
'bout rain and birds in europe?
the paper's lined up on the table
stained by the ring left from your mug
and you say, "i just get so, so tired sometimes"
and i say, "i think it's time for us to go"
tell me, how long have i been dreaming?
how do the nights move so slow?

how does the light break all about your face?
i kick a stone off of the sidewalk
a pedicab waits just across the way
the lights just turned on in the coffee shop
and you say, "did you really not see this coming?"
and i say, "i was pretending not to look"
tell me, how does that light break all about your face?
i can't believe just how long this morning took

how is july already over?
how am i still under your hand?
i rather enjoyed the fireworks
and the days and dreams of sand
and you say, "my heart can be so so cold sometimes"
and i say, "tell me something i don't know"
tell me, how is july already over?
how do the nights move so slow?

about

Matthew Connor image

Matthew Connor Boston, Massachusetts

Matthew Connor is a crooner for the 21st century, writing heart-wrenching songs that combine the windswept ideals of classic American balladry with stark depictions of modern-day alienation. The Boston-based Connor has a haunting voice that conjures ghosts of past heartbreaks, and he pairs it with spectral guitars that recall country tearjerkers and alt-pop brooding.
