We lay

In an empty tree house

I'm not sure what drugs we were fucked up on at the time

But we were laying next to each other in an empty tree house

In your backyard in orange county

Talking shit, smoking cigarettes, drinking california coolers

We were

Gone, gone, gone

Gone beyond all sense

We were looking

We were squinting at the sun as it came streaming through the slats

And you reached your fingers out for mine

I don't know what we were feeling at the time

But it was summer

I think it was summertime

You held my hand

We held onto the floor

Spinning out into the air

We knew the world was ours

We lay in an empty tree house in that backyard in orange county

And we made the kind of pact that you just never think,

You never think you'll have to keep

We laughed even as we made it

And then we moved on and started talking about gym class gossip

We were fucked up

Fucked up beyond belief

And then, then we got bored and we drove around for awhile

Went to south coast plaza and had a taco

And some ice cream

And then we passed out in the car

I don't know what we were feeling at the time

But it was summer

Pretty sure it was summertime

You held my hand

We held onto the floor

And it went spinning through the air

We thought the world was ours

We lay

In an empty tree house

I know you already know this, buddy

But I didn't want to have to do it but that pillow

And your aching were bound together and they collided

In that tree house in orange county

And we had known each other far too long and we had known

Each other far too well

And I thought we'd grow old together laughing,

Squinting at the sun and so you know

I'll never fucking go back to orange county

And you know I'll fucking never go back to south coast plaza

And I'll never fucking let you slip my mind

I don't know what we were feeling at the time

But it was summer

Pretty sure it was summertime

You held my hand

We held onto the floor

We didn't know it at the time

It was spinning us apart

It was spinning us apart
