Lyrics:
Do you want to walk to the cliffs with me?
We can go and sit by that place you like
Do you want to talk about everything?
Take my hand, don’t know why my chest feels tight
We’ve never had much trouble
You and me
And I don’t want to burst your bubble
But honestly
I’ve been asking God to slow the seasons down
‘Cause by the time summer comes back around
It’ll all have changed, we’ll be women then
And I wanna be girls with you right now
Your smile fades out as you see me frown
And I tell you how my mind’s been running ‘round
And you say we’ll stay like we’ve always been
But I know we’re gonna change anyhow
I wonder as we wander
Can the summer stay a little longer?
Do you want to crawl into bed with me?
You can snuggle in close, we can talk all night
All about the way things are gonna be
Till we’re almost peeved at the morning light
We’re living in two worlds now
A fantasy
Of a future we’d share somehow
And reality
So I’m asking God to slow the seasons down
‘Cause by the time summer comes back around
It’ll all have changed, we’ll be women then
And I wanna be girls with you right now
Your smile fades out as you see me frown
And I tell you how my mind’s been running ‘round
And you say we’ll stay like we’ve always been
But I know we’re gonna change anyhow
No use pretending I’m stronger
Can the summer stay a little longer?
Do you want to stay while I open this?
It’s a letter that I just got from home
If it is the worst, then I don’t wish
To watch my life derail alone
I’ve been thinking over every
Possibility
And I want to know so badly
But once I see…
In one way or another
That’ll be the end of our summer
