I fell in love with you in July
Tripped on my feet in the sun
No I don't want you for your money
No I don't care that you're someone

I'm younger than your scars but not by much
Drowning like I forgot my raincoat
And you could find a love a girl to take you on
But she wouldn't want you half as much as this
I blame it on July
I blame it on myself
God gave me the summertime
Left me with nothing left me with nothing else
The Day of Saints is almost here
Soon I'll be sweeping up the tree
Then it's gonna be another nauseating Happy New Year
And you still won't be with me
Oh I'll be 21 and old without a clue
Singin' I drowned like I forgot my raincoat
And everyone will wonder why they haven't checked me in
But even if they did even if they did
Are you gonna let it rain without me
Are you gonna let it snow without me
I blame it on July
I blame it on myself
God gave I said God gave me
Nothing else but nothing else but July
