Lyrics

So long ago, on a summer day
I put my best shirt on
I took you too a matinee
With money from mowing lawns
Money from mowing lawns

You worked down at the dairy queen
We hit it off from the start
Now there's a blizzard in between
And frost inside a heart

If I had a good reason
I would share it with you
Then the coldest season came
Making room for something new

Good for you
Good for me
Call it serendipity

Walking on coals, just trying to get through
But summers don't last that long
All that is left here is the truth
Everything else is gone

Gone without a good reason
For me to share it with you
Then the coldest season came
Making room for something new

Good for you
Good for me
Call it serendipity

If I can only hit my stride
I'll make it to the other side
I don't want to be roadkill
When there's half a cup to fill
To fill

Good for you (call it serendipity)
Good for me (serendipity)
Call it serendipity (call it serendipity)
Call it serendipity

Walking on coals, just trying to get through
Now summers don't last so long
All that is left here is the truth
Everything else is gone
