Summer Night

Middle of July at your lake house One last Friday night 'fore we leave town Board games and twin flames, bout to burn out Thought we knew how to live forever Put your hand in mine on the drive home A touch of the unknown on these familiar roads From your roof you can see the whole galaxy Could you miss me with all that's out there? I wanna stay here in this endless summer night Watch the fireworks go off inside your eyes We've left our traces in these places that we know Split my soul in parts, I can't bear to let go Of this summer night, night Blow through your cash at the drive in The overcrowded backseat hums with excitement Lit matches in flashes of golden and red We lie in your bed 'til the smoke clears I wanna stay here in this endless summer night Watch the fireworks go off inside your eyes We've left our traces in these places that we know Split my soul in parts, I can't bear to let go Of this summer night, night We'll meet again on someone's front porch And you won't know me anymore You'll have a picture-perfect wedding And I hope he's everything Before the sunrise meets our eyes I just wanna tell you, you were the best years of my life I wish I could hold on to this fleeting summer night With our childhoods burning away in your eyes I've left traces on these faces I call home Split my soul in parts, it'd kill me to let go Of this summer night
