Back when I was sixteen

I always had this single dream

Of spending all of my time

Being with you, could have swore I'd lost my mind

I never thought it would be this way

Where we get to waste our days away

Sitting around in this shithole town

We always swore we'd get away

I can't believe it's true

I can't believe I'm here with you

Every time that I close my eyes

The memories of our summer nights

Come flashing by at the speed of light

I never want to be left behind

We'd try to reach out far

Every night in your father's car

All of the trouble that we get in

Your breath and mine, what I wouldn't give

To feel that way all of the time

Your heartbeat pounding alongside mine

Like a marching drum

Our love goes on, na na na da da da da dum

Every time that I close my eyes

The memories of our summer nights

Come flashing by at the speed of light

I never want to be left behind

Every time that I close my eyes

The memories of our summer nights

Come flashing by at the speed of light

I never want to be left behind

Fleeting time for our youthful minds

Me and you in the world, our fight

Drive for hours, not a goal in sight

I never want to be left behind
