Verse 1
I look back to the one
and only summer time
And my girl was the envy
of every friends of mine
She slept safely in my arms
We were so young and invincible
Closed lips, she was
never one to kiss and tell
Those trips in the
summer never went so well
Young love is such dumb love
Call it what you want
it was still enough
Refrain
And still out of my reach
And still all of the things
That I want in my life
How could I ask you to leave me?
Chorus 1
And we were just kids in love
The summer was full of
mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole
the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?
Interlude
D--
Verse 2
Our breath smelled of
cigarettes and alcohol
We'd walk down the beach
counting every star
Our hearts beat inside our chest
Leaving us gasping for every breath
Her smile with the wind
blowing through her hair
Was so contagious in the air
So satisfying and I'm still smiling
Refrain
And still out of my reach
And still all of the things
That I want in my life
How could I ask you to leave me?
And we were just kids in love
The summer was full of
mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole
the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?
Interlude
---- x2
Bridge
We're falling down can
we pick up the pieces?
We're at an all time low
how do we get it back?
We're falling down can
we pick up the pieces?
Guitar solo
We're falling down can
we pick up the pieces now?
Chorus 2
And we were just kids in love
The summer was full of
mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole
the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us
(Repeat Chorus 1 twice)
