Fond Farewells

Ever stop and think of good dog days The summer nights that blew our cares away Now we're both stuck in jobs that we don't like Working long long nights They're telling us to sit tight So we just talk about the weather And how its time to ditch the sweaters And how we both can hear the speakers Blast around the block While I'm busy grinding in this mindset Getting paid to pay the new debt Can't even grab a chat with summer She slips the corner and is gone Clubhouse names a tapestry A timeline of my memories Until the walls break down I won't forget Cause they fill the cracks and crevices And keep me bound of permanent Until the lights go out you can bet I'm never gonna let All of this time, slip on by, slip on by Its gone in an instant Time, slip on by, slip on by So I'll savor the chapters right now Before they're all far gone This precious time, take your time, take your time Before I kiss you farewell Fond farewell, fond farewell Punctured a tire on the side of the road Made a bouquet while waiting for a tow I seized the moment and I left a note Saying time won't wait, and it was time to go Go on and soak up all the weather And go collect a hundred feathers New cowboy boots made out of leather Bought them just for show And I'll sprint into the dying sunset With my favorite posse of friends Try not to stumble chasing summer Cause she is almost gone All of this time, slip on by, slip on by Its gone in an instant Time, slip on by, slip on by So I'll savor the chapters right now Before they're all far gone This precious time, take your time, take your time Before I kiss you farewell Fond farewell, fond farewell Give them my fond farewell Fond farewell Ever stop and miss those good dog days Wishing these nights would blow our cares away
