Summer With You

Matt Simons/Gordon Groothedde 2019 / From 'After The Landslide'

Oh I never cared much for being the new kid on the block
But we never stayed put in just one place for all that long anyway
Oh I never got used to all the different cities and funny ways that people talk
And I don’t remember them
But I remember when

In the backyard grass laying up for hours
We were waiting on a sign from a meteor shower
It was ‪3am

That summer with you
Feeling something so new it was almost frightening
But I put it in the back of my mind cause it felt like lightning
With the beat of our hearts in tune and our senses heightened
We were young and you were mine
That summer with you

Oh I never much cared for the damp in the air
But I guess that’s just the price you have pay on the Fourth of July
Ooo all the pitch black rolling hills
We were riding dirt back roads chasing fireworks shows
Oh I don’t remember them
But I remember when

I could feel your hand like it’s frozen in time
Cause when I looked down you were holding mine
And the world made sense
Oh it just made sense

That summer with you
When we snuck you out of the house while your daddy was snoring
And the summer rain came on fast in the heat it was pouring
And we ran all around till the sun came up in the morning
We were young and you were mine
That summer with you

How we’d dance to the beat of our drum
That summer with you
And we’d scream at the top of our lungs
That summer with you
Now you’re still on the tip of my tongue

That summer with you
Feeling something so new it was almost frightening
But I put it in the back of my mind cause it felt like lightning
With the beat of our hearts in tune and our senses heightened
We were young and you were mine

That summer with you
When we snuck you out of the house while your daddy was snoring
And the summer rain came on fast in the heat it was pouring
And we ran all around till the sun came up in the morning
We were young and you were mine
That summer with you
