lyrics

And all those summer days we lay upon the lawn,
I didn’t know that I was dreamin’,
The way that life keeps moving away from what it’s seeming
Too quick for my romantic scheming

No, I didn’t know I’d grow old
With a fragile memory
Of watching you, my friend, doing cartwheels on the grass
In the golden lazy late summer light

And I don’t have any reason to dwell upon the past
Mistakes were made and there’s reason,
But for eternity, those green smiling eyes,
I thought we could watch a thousand seasons

And no, I didn’t know I’d grow old
With a fragile memory
Of watching you, my friend, doing cartwheels on the grass
In the golden lazy late summer light

And no, I didn’t know I’d grow old
With a fragile memory
of watching you, my friend, doing cartwheels on the grass
In the golden late summer light

Time is a gift, and it gives us our seasons
But this is mine, and I’ll keep it with me
May you all have a memory that rips your heart awake
May we all end up as friends in the end

And no, I didn’t know I’d grow old
With such a fragile memory
of watching you, my friend, doing cartwheels on the grass
In the golden lazy late summer light

Heya, Heyyya Heyyyyyya, Heyyyyaaaaaa
(repeat)
