I remember the way the sun fell over the lake.
and how we strained to stay awake,
The laughter from your lips,
so easy to sleep with your hands resting on my hips.
Dripping with water, looking through flames,
Our last summer, things will never be the same.
So we took hold of every smile and forgot to frown,
knowing it wouldn't be long until you weren't around.
Our last trip to the show, last night on the river's shore,
Last day wondering what to do, lying on the floor.
Driving faster than we know we should,
Music as loud as it would.
Staying out later than we were told,
Sneak out just to prove we're bold.
Orange sodas and late-night drive thru,
I know your trying not to think of goodbye too.
So this summer I'll hold on tighter than I have ever,
Promise me you mean it when you say "forever."
Trying so hard to be strong, not to cry,
Please don't let this be our last goodbye.
