The Last Summer

We were strangers in the dark and then we fell into place The streetlights watching over, cast a shadow ‘cross on your face I only see you sometimes and yet I know that you’re there We’ll reconnect when it’s right and when you’re back I’ll be here And I won’t waste my time on memories I wouldn’t wanna think about in twenty years Reminiscing, feet up on the couch, saying I remember that summer The last summer The last summer The last We were strangers in the dark and then we fell into place The streetlights watching over, cast a shadow ‘cross on your face I only see you sometimes and yet I know that you’re there We’ll reconnect when it’s right and when you’re back I’ll be here And I won’t waste my time on memories I wouldn’t wanna think about in twenty years Reminiscing, feet up on the couch, saying (I remember) I remember that summer (I remember) The last summer (I remember) The last summer (I remember) The last Had a trip take a left and Made me wonder What if I never came back? All my friends I had growing up, glowing up, went and left the state But they never came right back Wasn’t even like that, guess I was just too involved And they never said goodbye, too led on And I always was the good guy, moving on And I’m running out of my light ‘Cause I Give more effort to others than they give to me Unknowingly set on appeasing, and I know that some looks are deceiving Spent every day going and getting a new point of view And the pointless forgetting and making excuses for an inexcusable nature I should’ve stopped talking to a few months ago And it wasn’t golden when Mac died Made the last year the worst time I remember I was out I heard the news Felt froze inside Pulled back in the driveway, I got hella texts And then Gabe had stopped by and I cried in his chest Felt like I had lost a homie a brother, somebody I looked for a cover For all of the things that I couldn’t explain I could feel power in words that he uttered First time I had felt all the pain, of losing someone like that, was a struggle So much to handle when you hadn’t met them And couldn’t say “thank you,” or “goodbye,” or all that Thankful I had some people around to help me cope It meant the most It all brought us together more than we know And when I’m gone for a while, it’ll live through you So give yourself a second to breathe Just give yourself a second ‘Cause We were strangers in the dark and then we fell into place The streetlights watching over, cast a shadow ‘cross on your face I only see you sometimes and yet I know that you’re there We’ll reconnect when it’s right and when you’re back I’ll be here And I won’t waste my time on memories I wouldn’t wanna think about in twenty years Reminiscing, feet up on the couch, saying I remember that summer The last summer The last summer The last summer
