Through a hazy glow
on a white-hot, humid day
I saw myself throw it all away
If this emptiness doesn't kill me
The heat surely will

Never before did I feel this way
Never again would I be the same

I was so young and na ve
and I didn't worry about a thing
But I'd take it all back
if I knew what I was getting into

It's so hard to take aim
when you have no one to give you direction
It's so hard to grow up
when you have no one to look up to
It was so hard to mature
in the middle of a torrid July

The tears poured
like acid rain from the sky
There was no time to tend to hurt feelings
All I could say and all I could do
was taken away from me

Never before did I do so much
Never again would I live as such

I had to ignore the truth
to identify what I had inside
This July can't end too soon
and I wish we were still in June

It's so hard to take aim
when you have no one to give you direction
It's so hard to grow up
when you have no one to look up to
It was so hard to mature
in the middle of a torrid July

This torrid July is making me sweat the little things

When the summer wind blows my way
and leads me down a twisted path
When the summer wind stays warm
I will find myself at last

It's so hard to take aim
when you have no one to give you direction
It's so hard to grow up
when you have no one to look up to
It was so hard to mature
in the middle of a torrid July

Never before did I look this way
Never again will I forget this day

Finding myself was so hard to do
in the middle of a torrid July
