Summer Of '92

Remember when the neighborhood was ours

Bikes on the sidewalk, passing cars

In the never ending summer of ’92

Sun bleached hair, freckled faces, simple things to do

And at the end of each day

When our shadows stretched out

We’d swear to meet again

Soon as the Sun came back around

Do you remember the streetlights?

Riding home on our bikes

So sad to see the Sun go down?

When every day was a lifetime

We couldn’t wait to get outside

On the sidewalks in our hometown

Do you remember when the cops were called?

Watched as the marriages fell apart

I swear when I graduate, I’m gone

Into the great beyond

The only thing I know

Is I’m getting out of this town

Where everything moves slow

I’m not coming home, not coming down

Do you remember the streetlights?

Riding home on our bikes

So sad to see the Sun go down?

When every day was a lifetime

We couldn’t wait to get outside

On the sidewalks in our hometown

What’s it gonna take?

How did we get separated

From the things that we used to do?

In these early August days

I can feel my heart ache

For the summer of ’92

I know it wasn’t perfect

But I feel like I’ve been searching

For a memory that I lost of you

What’s it gonna cost

To recover from the loss?

Maybe a lifetime

Maybe a lifetime or two

Do you remember the streetlights?

Riding home on our bikes

So sad to see the Sun go down?

When every day was a lifetime

We couldn’t wait to get outside

On the sidewalks in our hometown

All of the roads we went down

Without a map we found our way

All of the timeless wonders

The Sun in the sky, the endless days, we couldn’t stay
