Summer Nights
Late as hell, and I'm driving round my hometown
Small and beautiful, with nothing to do around
Back for the summer and it feels like I never left
But catching up with people feels so different
It's great to see mom and dad, and my brothers too
I never knew it'd hurt so bad when I was missing you
My girl says it's hard to have her best friend away
So I make sure to love her every night and day
The school year had just ended
And my brother has graduated
I'm grateful, for my parents
And the family that I've been blessed with
I tell her, "I love you"
And she tells me, "I love you too"
Wake up for work, every day
And the cycle repeats itself again
Why did I have to go away?
There's dreams you gotta chase
And someone's after them
Why did I have to go away?
The friendships wait for you
Just listen for the cue
Why did I have to go away?
There's dreams you gotta chase
And someone's after them
Why did I have to go away?
The friendships wait for you
Just listen for the cue
It's getting closer to the day that I head back
I guess when you're distracted time goes by fast
Why do I feel like my summer was such a waste?
I think it's cause my goals were found in the wrong place
I found myself too busy thinking 'bout you
And I forgot about the shit that I had to do
I guess it's time that I make my way home
While wishing my time here could be restored
Sophomore year will now begin
And alone I have not been
I listen to his voice
Cause he promised me that I would rejoice
I tell her, "I miss you"
And she tells me, "I miss you too"
Wake up for school, every day
And the cycle repeats itself again
Why did I have to go away?
There's dreams you gotta chase
And someone's after them
Why did I have to go away?
The friendships wait for you
Just listen for the cue
Why did I have to go away?
There's dreams you gotta chase
And someone's after them
Why did I have to go away?
The friendships wait for you
Just listen for the cue
He guides me, walks with me
Blessed to have him near me
I'm grateful for hard work
And the times that it's brought me back home
They tell me, "We miss you"
I tell them, "I'll see you soon"
I wake up every day
Making sure that I put my dreams ahead
Why did I have to go away?
There's dreams you gotta chase
And someone's after them
Why did I have to go away?
The friendships wait for you
Just listen for the cue
Why did I have to go away?
There's dreams you gotta chase
And someone's after them
Why did I have to go away?
The friendships wait for you
Just listen for the cue
