Summer Love (live)

It was senior prom night, Caught your eyes across the dance floor We had our dates, didn’t matter anymore My friend pushed me into the middle And cheered me on You laughed as my feet were flying Who knew I was a breakdancer Definitely not YOU! I spun and there you were My glasses landed in your hands You were laughing, didn’t plan it Yeah, you were grinning I gave you a high-five, my head still spinning My date came back, pulled me away She said “let’s dance,” no time to stay I turned around and caught your goodbye Summer love! Don’t let go! We were wild, couldn’t take it slow! Summer love! One last night! Hold me close..don’t say goodbye! You’d show up at my job, the old pharmacy Hid away from the cams and stole a kiss I'd whisper love in your ears You'd gasp "you can't say that!" Then you’d pull me close Boss yelling “yo, your break’s done!” But your lips didnt care...we weren’t done. Yeah that summer we were invincible. No, we didn't want no drama... But two of my friends fell hard for you So we kept it on the D.L. And held our hands in the dark. Beach trips beating traffic lines Best friend had the luxury car But you chose my beatup Geo Riding shotgun every time No AC but you’d just smile “Windows down’s my favorite style” You said you loved that summer drive Everyone laughed, but only I knew I liked that it was me and you Summer love! Don’t let go! We were wild, couldn’t take it slow! Summer love! One last night! Hold me close..don’t say goodbye! We fell asleep on the cordless line You swore you didn’t snore at night Didn't have the heart to tell you (ha ha ha) Then one night crying you rang “please come over" Fired up the geo, almost didn't start (P.O.S!) Rain pouring down parked two blocks down After all you were Daddy's girl Soaked to the skin, you met me halfway Couldn’t tell rain from your tears Standing together in the middle of the street Just held each other, let the rain wash us clean You snuck me in and threw me your brothers clothes I hummed you a lullaby and you drifted off But I stayed awake, scariest damn night of my life I held you all night long, didn't let go I swore your Dad knew...and let us have our song Next day we drove out to the shore Just you and me, nothing more My Geo died, it had no more fight So we took your Jeep, doors off, basked in the sunlight Wind running wild through your hair Singing like we didn’t care Like forever lived right there Truth is summer was crumbling down Best friend started smoking again He had given it up for you, for you We didn't hide anymore Just when summer started to die Too little too late We stayed on the beach until the sunset Fell asleep on the sand We knew it was the end Summer love! Don’t let go! We were wild, couldn’t take it slow! Summer love! One last night! Hold me close..don’t say goodbye! Don’t say goodbye! Don’t say goodbye!
