What ever happened to the first summer we ran away?
Hearing our hearts pound on 95 southbound
We never saw a snow angel's half-chance
In hell we'd be betrayed by the sound
It's taken so long for me to come back around
What ever happened to the first summer we ran away?
There wasn't anyone who cared
Still we took up the chase
You couldn't slip a hair between us
And the world that we held in our gaze
It's so hard not to compare
Once you notice there's nothing there
You've got to wonder what keeps us here
Is it devotion or fear?
It's still so easy to hear
We forced ourselves to ignore this year
The ever-audible siren song of the econoline's gears
What ever happened to the last time you thought it was safe
To lower your guard down once you heard the guitar sound?
There was no heaven like no sign
Of a stage between the mic and the crowd
It's taken so long for me to come back around,
But I'm starting to realize now where I was missing out
I'm always missing out
We can't fight and we can't win
But we're the boys and we won't give in
