[Chorus]
It’s like the summer being over, but it came way too soon
It’s like it watched me grow older, the best things fade from view
It’s like saying goodbye to an old friend, but you won’t know it’ll be the last time
It's like moving to a new town leaving everything you know behind

[Verse 1]
In that backyard there were reveries that won't ever be spoken again
The summer snow fall solemn sanctity determination dust is settling

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna grow up, I don’t wanna fix this
Know that you’ll forget me, Know that its all ending
And if you could see this, know you’d take it all back
But its too late for that, didn’t even get to say goodbye

[Chorus]
It’s like the summer being over, but it came way too soon
It’s like it watched me grow older, the best things fade from view
It’s like saying goodbye to an old friend, but you won’t know it’ll be the last time
It's like moving to a new town leaving everything you know behind

[Verse 2]
This heaven stared and it hurt like hell, but maybe that's just me
Sunlight inverting kaleidoscopically, reflecting until I can't breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna grow up, I don’t wanna fix this
Know that you’ll forget me, Know that its all ending
And if you could see this, know you’d take it all back
But its too late for that, didn’t even get to say goodbye

[Chorus]
It’s like the summer being over, but it came way too soon
It’s like it watched me grow older, the best things fade from view
It’s like saying goodbye to an old friend, but you won’t know it’ll be the last time
It's like moving to a new town leaving everything you know behind

[Post-Chorus]
I know that it gets hard, but I can quiet all your fears
Even though it isn’t wrong, I still can’t wipe away your tears

[Bridge]
In the end, you’re never going silent
I’ll never be that person
In — pressing [?], in late October
I still hold on to that dying ember
At the precipice of everything familiar
Know I won’t see god again

[Outro]
Where we going now? Backwards?
