Winter's Replaced With Summer

Winter is wrapped in leaves
Say that I'm losing myself 
They corrupt my every last thought

I yearn for a more hallow summer
To be as bright as the sun

I want to see everyone smile
Instead, I'm dried up in denial

Do you believe
This winter will be frost-covered?

I will reassure myself
This summer... we will have more time to go to the beach

I am here to reach for people's needs

Maybe I am losing myself... 
Summer is coming soon

My heart... Is it withering with coldness?
Is it painted against a shunned piece of art?

My heart is still alive
Pounding...wailing to get more excitement

Return, oh you sweet summer! 
This time, it'll be brighter and funner 

Perhaps it would be an enjoyable vacation 
Watching cartoons all day long 
And singing a million songs
Though the rhythm isn't the best 

We might even dig up
An astounding chest 

Now we're taking a peek
Into a petite, sunlit vacation 

I yearn for more time
For a fabulous summer

For now,
I'll reassure myself
That we're going to the beach
And plan out endless vacations

The leaves wither away
Now I'm a released animal from the zoo  
It's about the greatest time
To be free 

Yet... I still yearn
For a generous summer
