Days were long, shadows tall, you were mine until the fall
Beer on the trampoline, forty rolls in the trees
The cops came around the bend
We climbed into the truck and gunned ‘er
And the wind kissed your voice singing out the song of the summer

Swore to a life that you’ve worn in
Is it wearing you out?
Swore that the world would know your name
Have you changed it by now? Oh now…
Lightning splits the room
You count until you hear the thunder
The rain on your roof sounding like the song of the summer

I’d give what’s left to share a song with you, but we’ve drifted apart
A melody we ain’t heard before, but we know it by heart
Cause now I know that I loved you like I love no other
And I’m getting old dreaming bout the song of the summer
