You were a crumpled-up photograph, vigorously ripped in half A faint memory of a junior prom date that never seemed to last You were a tightened noose, steadily choking out the truth A recollection of the lover who made accusations without proof Summertime, summertime, I’d like to think this summer’s mine It’s the only season that has the power to reveal if love is blind Summertime, summertime, what do you have in store for me? Is there something over the tip of the horizon I can’t perceive? Let this be a remembrance of how fast people change A solemn reminder of how we were another dying flame You had a cunning ability to silence a man of many words Guess we’ll find out if you finally got what you deserved Tied of feeling like another firework on the Fourth of July We were flying high until we blew up before our eyes Luscious, full-bodied lips accompanied by stone-cold finger tips This fairy tale ending has fallen victim to a mesmerizing plot twist An unanticipated farewell is greeted by teary eyes full of passion This summer’s blockbuster has been turned into a fatal attraction Let this be a remembrance of how fast people change A solemn reminder of how we were another dying flame You had a cunning ability to silence a man of many words Guess we’ll find out if you finally got what you deserved Tied of feeling like another firework on the Fourth of July We were flying high until we blew up before our eyes Your forked tongue is on the verge of spewing out dragon’s fire You say you only want truth; you’re the one who’s become a liar Your tears are falling down hard like raindrops in a thunderstorm With a subtle strike of lightning another new beginning is born Summertime, summertime, I’d like to think this summer’s mine It’s the only season that has the power to reveal if love is blind Summertime, summertime, what do you have in store for me? Is there something over the tip of the horizon I can’t perceive? Let this be a remembrance of how fast people change A solemn reminder of how we were another dying flame You had a cunning ability to silence a man of many words Guess we’ll find out if you finally got what you deserved Tied of feeling like another firework on the Fourth of July We were flying high until we blew up before our eyes
