Summer 2012

Lyrics

I wanna get a visa Just for the chance to meetcha I need to change my groove This year I'm loving you When we were kids we looked at bars with amazement But now we're here and all we talk about are basements (It was only four years ago // how come it feels like we're moving slow) In the basements we lived You'll find some empty 40's Back from When we were kids But now we're stuck in slo-mo We're all trying to quit The cycles that we came from But our bodies can't fit The changes that we give them After years of exactly the same thing We always miss it at the end of every spring All the years that we spent together Summer last forever But As our roots start to grow and move around We find our homes are looser in the ground Never loose enough to lose each other Summers spent together Make them last forever And now as cycles vary We still find sanctuary In the wonders we loved as a child They feel small but they still run wild And all our friends stopped calling back But maybe we were the ones who first lost track (If we could we would turn back time // but there are things that just can't rewind) If you pick up the phone The story never ends But we should all be alone Every now and again Feels like it's all set in stone The number of our friends And the place we call home But it really all depends After years of exactly the same thing We always miss it at the end of every spring All the years that we spent together Summer last forever But As our roots start to grow and move around We find our homes are looser in the ground Never loose enough to lose each other Summers spent together Make them last forever (dance break!) And though our paths may never cross again Just know that we're still the best of friends There's nothing good that never changes Summer last forever And though our lives start moving on their own Just know that there's nothing set in stone Stay together don't stay alone Summers spent together Stay together don't stay alone Pick up yourself to pick up the phone It was only four years ago How come it feels like we're moving so slow If we could we would turn back time But there are things that just can't rewind All night, you want the young american Young american young american you want the young american
