School's out
My family's off to work
I took a shortcut through the library
Cut through the mystery section
It didn't take long
Then walked home alone
The library stamped my summer
Every week in violet ink
No one asked why I came early
No one hurried me back out
The library stamped my summer
I was lonely
I was there
I turned off my phone
Avoided the children I grew up with
When I see them now
They ask me where I went
I always say
I don't know
The library stamped my summer
Every week in violet ink
No one asked why I came early
No one hurried me back out
The library stamped my summer
I was lonely
I was there
But not really anywhere
The library stamped my summer
Every week in violet ink
No one asked why I came early
No one hurried me back out
The library stamped my summer
I was lonely
I was there
