Verse 1 We used to ride until the streetlights came on Cheap headphones playing our favorite songs Your name was written on the back of my hand Like somehow forever was part of the plan We’d watch the sunset from the old parking lot Talking for hours ‘bout the things that we’d want No photographs could ever capture those days Funny how everything changes, but memory stays Pre-Chorus And sometimes when the night gets quiet I swear I hear that old song play And for a second I’m right back there Before we went our separate ways Chorus Take me back to when the summer stayed When we thought we’d never grow or change When every road felt like it led somewhere And we had nowhere we had to be Take me back to those September skies To staying out past midnight I didn’t know those were the days I’d spend my whole life missing Verse 2 The corner store has got a different name They painted over all the walls we knew I drove past your old house the other day And wondered if you ever do that too We said we’d never lose touch, but we did Life got louder, and we grew into it Now every year moves faster than the last And somehow home became a place in the past Pre-Chorus But sometimes when the windows are open And warm air fills the room I’m seventeen again beside you With nothing left to lose Chorus Take me back to when the summer stayed When we thought we’d never grow or change When every road felt like it led somewhere And we had nowhere we had to be Take me back to those September skies To staying out past midnight I didn’t know those were the days I’d spend my whole life missing Bridge Maybe growing up is learning You can’t keep everything you love Some things only last a moment But a moment can be enough And if I could go back, I wouldn’t change it Wouldn’t ask the clock to slow I’d just look around a little longer Before I had to go Final Chorus Take me back to when the summer stayed When forever didn’t feel so far away When all we needed was an open road And someone sitting next to us Take me back to those September skies One more drive, one more night I didn’t know I was making memories I thought I was just living life Outro Now the streetlights still come on And somewhere plays that old familiar song For a second, nothing’s changed And I’m back when the summer stayed
