You laugh like the sun, and I Get caught staring at the petals in the street Then I trip on my own feet and fall Yeah, that’s me I take back the hand I almost gave you Thinking maybe these same old days Shouldn’t get dyed all pure and clean And that’s when it hits me Trying not to let time drag me along I chased after you as you ran That summer day grew up on me And burned right through At the open seam, we laughed, and next year too I’ll still be thinking about you Like the dark of night was sinking in Even the sun is lighting up the moon Somewhere, somebody’s getting that same glow Right? The dreams we wrote on the beach Got swallowed up by the surf before long But the hands on the clock keep moving on Can’t stop them now Time kept moving, and I went chasing Another summer coming around Summer voices, I grew up too And there’s no going back now At the open seam, I turned white That burnt-out dream still won’t wake up I take back the hand I almost gave you Thinking maybe these same old days Shouldn’t get dyed all pure and clean And that’s when it hits me The dreams we wrote on the beach Got swallowed up by the surf before long But the hands on the clock keep moving on Can’t stop them now That summer day I chased after Burned right through the grown-up me At the open seam, we laughed, and next year too I’ll still be thinking about you That burnt-out dream still won’t wake up
