Summer 97

A normal night, we were alone

When you told me you were late

Change of plans when the news broke

What a sudden twist of fate

Living with three men grown

On a council house estate

I had no money of my own

And I had no time to save

Looking through the mirror

I see you in the backseat

Twenty weeks pregnant

I’m counting every heartbeat

Diana’s on the cover of a magazine

Leo kissed a girl on a movie screen

You looked so good in my sweater

Summer 97 forever

Summer 97 forever

Busy days, sleepless nights

We fell in love in between

Spending time in waiting rooms

With sun-bleached magazines

Never thought I would leave the band

Trade my guitar for a minivan

I can’t believe I’m gonna be a dad

I’m scared as hell you see

Looking through the mirror

I see you in the backseat

Twenty weeks pregnant

Counting every heartbeat

Diana’s on the cover of a magazine

Leo kissed a girl on a movie screen

You looked so good in my sweater

Summer 97 forever

Summer 97 forever

Heading out of our old home

Where you made all your friends

Where you had your first dance

Put your handprints on the wall

It’s where you took your first steps

Where you learned from mistakes

We’ll always pick you up, when you fall

Now you’re heading out of our old home

And I’m still looking through the mirror

I see you in the backseat

Twenty weeks pregnant

Counting every heartbeat

Diana’s on the cover of a magazine

Leo kissed a girl on a movie screen

You looked so good in my sweater

Summer 97 forever

Summer 97 forever

Summer 97 forever

Summer 97 forever

Summer 97 together

Summer 97 together

Always in my heart

Summer 97 forever
