lyrics

I’ve never smoked in my life
but some of my friends get high enough every night to last us all a lifetime
we’re in and out of time
and maybe its the second hand smoke in these basements alone with each other
but we’ll never get over
the way that we were for a couple of summers
the way that we were before
please tell me that this isn’t over
this summer’s too young to be waking up sober
fuck this I’m not growing up
no I’m just growing older
so keep your chin up
and we’ll keep our heads above water
for just a little more time

and I’m not gonna lie to you
theres something about these summer nights
going to bed with the morning dew
I'm in love with all of my friends and i
if you feel like you’re missing out
come join us
its getting real good right now
join the chorus

chorus:
the heat of these bright summer days
burns warm in our hearts on these summer nights
there are all kinds of love in the world
but never the same love twice

i hope i never die like Churchill
i hope I’m never bored of it all
and i hope that when i can’t walk anymore
ill crawl
and i hope that the way we’ve been living these days
won’t stay the same for the rest of my life
and i hope that one day I’ll look at myself and finally take my own god damn advice
if you’re drowning
I’ll pull you up onto my ship
lately my anchor's been weighing me down
but I’m starting to give it the slip
just know that I’m sorry
for everything
the good and the bad keep me up at night
im yelling out, someone help
make this alright
please make this alright

they say we all dig our own graves
if thats true I’ll make mine
unmarked shallow and out of the way
out of sight out of mind
cause they say that the good die young
so i expect we're gonna live forever

got this pain in my chest that demands to be felt
its a hole in my heart, its a notch on my belt
its the way that the sky falls
its the reason we all fall
its our past, its our future
its our scars, and its our sutures
its our open wounds, broken bones
bleeding skin, all i know’s
no one gets out of this life
alive
and no one in their right mind
wants to stay behind
no one in their right mind
wants to stay behind

if you had kissed me
i would’ve kissed you back
and i hope you knew that

if you had kissed me
i would’ve kissed you back
and i guess you knew that

[chorus]
