[Verse 1]
            
Please picture

          
 me in the tre

es
          
I hit my peak 

at seven
            
Feet in the sw

           
ing over the c

reek
           
I was too scar

ed to jump in
           
But I, I was h

           
igh in the sky
             
With Pennsylva

              
nia under me
             
Are there stil

              
l beautiful th

  
ings?


[Chorus]

  Sweet tea in

 the summer

Cross your hea

rt won't tell 

no other
             
  And though I

              
 can’t recall 

     
your face

I still got love for you

 Your braids l

ike a pattern

Love you to th

e moon and to 

Saturn

  Passed down 

like folk song

s
             
  The love las

                       
ts so long, oh


[Bridge]
            
  And I've bee

             
n meaning to t

ell you
              
I think your h

        
ouse is haunte

d
              
Your dad is al

             
ways mad and t

            
hat must be wh

y
              
And I think yo

              
u should come 


live with me
              
And we could b

  
e pirates
              
Then you won't

         
 have to cry
              
Or hide in the

 
 closet
              
And just like 

  
a folk song
              
Our love will 

          
be passed on


[Verse 2]
            
Please picture

ds
             
Before I learn

         
ed civility
            
I used to scre

             
am ferociously

     
 any time I wa

nted

[Chorus]

 Sweet tea in

Cross my heart
