lyrics

The leaves fall
I miss the summer stars
and the midnight trains and all those games and when we'd stay out after dark

And I know, I know I'm getting older
But the city lights and the late night drives will always make me feel at home again

This time I'm here to stay
In the pitch black nights we'd walk the streets and we'd always find our way

Maybe if we hold on to our dreams
We could take the world upon our hands and the good times would never cease

To me

And I could never live my life without those days
And those nights we made our own
And I know that this is how it goes
And those empty streets that held our feet could repair our broken bones

The summer calls
With our stories told
We're never getting old
Yet we act so bold

Don't take it away from me
Don't wake me from this dream
This isn't what it seems
I won't let you get the best of me

And I could never live my life without those days
And those nights we made our own
And I know that this is how it goes
And those empty streets that held our feet could repair our broken bones

We've got time and it's everything to me

The summer calls
With our stories told
We're never getting old
Yet we act so bold

Don't take it away from me
Don't wake me from this dream
This isn't what it seems
I won't let you get the best of me
