The last breath of Summer escaped your lungs two weeks ago
Now the leaves are changing color
It's mid-September and the sun goes down by 7 now
But I don't think that matters.
Because we're all here today
Sitting downstairs on the couch
Sometimes just sitting
But maybe trying to find something cool to do
Sneaking around, crawling home.
This feeling is fleeting, but it's real
And it's amazing
Amazing as your hair shines in the sunlight
Or your eyes glow in the moon
Or your hands shake as you hold onto this passing afternoon
And as you pass the bottle
Or pass the ball
Passing time with me
I can forget about those
Silly things that keep us from feeling free
And we can be happy.
The sun's an awesome thing
This is where my youth took place
You open the pearly gates
I can feel blood rush to my face
I can feel blood in my body.
This feeling is fleeting, but it's real
And it's amazing
Amazing as your hair shines in the sunlight
Or your eyes glow in the moon
Or your hands shake as you hold onto this passing afternoon
And as you pass the bottle
Or pass the ball
Passing time with me
I can forget about those
Silly things that keep us from feeling free
And we can be happy.
This feeling is fleeting.
You can't stay here.
(You can't, you can't, you can't, you...)
