Kids of Summer

There's a time that's always so fitting Where the sites and sounds were just the beginning I didn't know that years ago I'd find myself In ways that warped my brain And I knew that everything would be better If we only had more time But in the moment I found simpler things Yeah, in the moment I found mine But it's a long way down after the other 12 long months until I recover It's a long way down after the other one Those days are long gone but we can all pretend Our love was so strong Let's do it all again and make new scars We'll fly into the night like shooting stars Faster, go faster so we can finally breathe Turn up the stereo and let us all sing Our favorite songs, the ones that keep reminding us That we were the kids of the summer Those days, I remember 'em hitting like a tidal wave Wrapped up in a pretty little face Covered me entirely with sun and rain through summer days And oh, my heart grew bigger back then somehow I got the feeling I wanted but it's all gone now Thought it would last forever inside my chest Let's keep it beating together But it's a long way down after the other 12 long months until I recover It's a long way down after the other one Those days are long gone but we can all pretend Our love was so strong Let's do it all again and make new scars We'll fly into the night like shooting stars Faster, go faster so we can finally breathe Turn up the stereo and let us all sing Our favorite songs, the ones that keep reminding us That we were the kids of the summer The summer The summer It was all ours And I knew that everything would be better If we only had more time But in the moment I found simpler things Yeah, in the moment I found mine But it's a long way down after the other 12 long months until I recover It's a long way down after the other one Those days are long gone but we can all pretend Our love was so strong Let's do it all again and make new scars We'll fly into the night like shooting stars Faster, go faster so we can finally breathe Turn up the stereo and let us all sing Our favorite songs, the ones that keep reminding us That we were the kids of the summer The summer The summer It was all ours We were the kids of the summer
