[Pop punk song with fast tempo, energetic electric guitars, punchy live drums, melodic basslines, and youthful, nostalgic vibe. Sounds like early 2000s skate punk, with a rebellious and emotional edge. Think power chords, clean verses and explosive choruses." "Male pop punk vocal, casual and melodic tone, Laid-back, slightly nasal voice with a hint of sarcasm and youthfulness." Male pop punk vocal with exaggerated California accent, emotional and slightly whiny. Ideal for a spoken/sung bridge."] [Final Master] [Verse 1] We trashed your dad’s new SUV Threw water balloons at the cops in the street You laughed so hard, I thought you’d choke You said, “This town’s a boring joke” Now I drive by your house alone Your porch light's off, no one's home I heard you moved out to L.A. Guess growing up just slipped away [Chorus] Last summer sucked without you here No late-night drives, no stolen beer I played our songs, but they felt weird Without your voice inside my ear We said we’d never change at all But promises mean nothing in the fall Last summer sucked, and that’s the truth— ‘Cause nothing’s fun when it’s not with you [Verse 2] Remember that night we jumped the fence Skinny-dipped, got caught, made no sense You lit my world like gasoline Then vanished like a teenage dream [Chorus] Last summer sucked without you here No bonfire fights, no “hold my beer” I played our mixtape way too loud But it's just silence through the crowd You said we’d always raise some hell Now you’re just pics and L.O.L.'s Last summer sucked, I won’t pretend— It killed to lose my best girlfriend [Bridge][spoken/sung, Cali-style delivery] You said, “Don’t grow up, it’s just a trap” Now you’re all LinkedIn and yoga apps And me? I’m stuck in this garage band Still writing songs you’d never understand [Final Chorus] Last summer sucked without your laugh No firecrackers or aftermath The boardwalk’s dead, the waves feel fake I still go there, just outta habit's sake You’re living life, I’m stuck in pause Still blaming fate, or maybe flaws Last summer sucked—it really did But I’ll keep playing like a stupid kid
