Jake’s old Chevy coughed alive On the third key turn Dashboard shaking, gravel flying Tires kicking up the dirt Cooler full of melted ice The burgers all got left behind Laughing at the same old stories Like we’d written every line Skippin' stones right next to the dock Moonlight breaking through the trees By the shore we took a romantic walk Counting ripples in the breeze Nobody had anywhere to be Nobody watched the clock No one thought we were killing time Sitting there on that dock Funny how the smallest moments Can sneak up and change your life You don't hear the world shifting... You just notice something's different. Hey— That summer found us On a night we weren't looking for With smoke on our clothes And a whole lot more One long drive... One slow spark... Your hand finding mine Out there in the dark Nothing around us changed No, the world stayed the same But I walked away different When you whispered my name That summer found us... You stole my hoodie when the wind rolled in Said, "I'll give it back someday" I said, "Keep it if you want it" Then looked the other way Everybody crowded by the fire Singing like they owned the night Someone turned that old song louder And the flames climbed twice as high You laughed when I missed the chorus I said I didn't know the words But you pulled me closer anyway Like you didn't even notice The fireworks over the water Were nothing compared to you Funny how everybody watched the sky And I only saw you Hey— That summer found us On a night we weren't looking for With smoke on our clothes And a whole lot more One long drive... One slow spark... Your hand finding mine Out there in the dark Nothing around us changed No, the world stayed the same But I walked away different When you whispered my name That summer found us... Years later I still hear that song Coming through the speakers low Same old melody... Same old road... But I’m not chasing that summer I’m chasing who we were Two kids who didn't know yet They were standing in forever. Hey— That summer found us Before we knew what it meant A half-empty cooler A night we never planned One old Chevy... One first kiss... One little moment I’d never want to miss Nothing around us changed But everything changed in me That summer found us... And it still feels like yesterday. Windows down... Radio loud... We'll still hear the song somehow... Whoa-oh... Summer... found us now
