last summer lyrics

The Friday sun bears down again
As we drive without friends
And on these longest days we spend
All the time trying to pretend

That our stories could be true
Our chance to be cool
The setting down says the day is through
If only we knew

And we all sit around here in our home town
Listen to the waves as they all crash down
And watch the fire as it slowly burns away
Glowing embers lie across the sky

Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer
The world passes by in my summer, our last summer
The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other
Alive to watch it all, the view from our last summer
The view from our last summer

We trace the sun across the sky
And we laugh till we cry
Always so hard to say goodbye
Good bye

And we all sit round here in our home town
It's so good like this, these are times we'll miss
The memories, I hope they'll never fad
Glowing embers lie across the sky

Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer
The world passes by in my summer, our last summer
The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other
Alive to watch it all, the view through our last summer
The view from our last summer

I would stop time to stay with you
I would stop time so we don't move
I would stop time, I would stop time
I would stop time to keep you

Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer
The world passes by in my summer, our last summer
The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other
Alive to watch it all, the view from our last summer
