Bottle It Up

from My Light True by Englewood

lyrics

Those long hot days don’t last, it’s a bummer.
When you think about life it has a mighty short summer.
Those long hot days don’t last, it’s a bummer.
It’s a bummer.

Before you know it the dark’s falling fast.
I wish there was a way to make summer last.
Before you know it the dark’s falling fast.
I wish there was a way to make summer last.
To make summer last.

Can you bottle it up, and put it in a jar.
Can those tomatoes to make them go farther.
Pick blackberries ‘til your fingers bleed,
so you’ll have the jam when you need it.
Can you bottle it up; put it in a jar.

When you think about love it has a mighty short summer. People can leave too fast, it’s a bummer.
When you think about love it has a mighty short summer. People can leave too fast, it’s a bummer.
It’s a bummer.

Before you know it the good days are past.
I wish there was a way to hold your loved ones fast.
Before you know it the good days are past.
I wish there was a way to hold your loved ones fast.
Hold your loved ones fast.

Can you bottle it up, can you put it in a jar?
Can you hold them so tight that they can’t get far.
When you’re lying awake, holding them at night,
Can you save that for later in a jar full of light.
Can you bottle up love and save it in a jar.
