The Last Summer

[Chorus (with Zach Miller)]
We were strangers in the dark and then we fell into place
The streetlights watching over, cast a shadow ‘cross on your face
I only see you sometimes and yet I know that you’re there
We’ll reconnect when it’s right and when you’re back I’ll be here
And I won’t waste my time on memories I wouldn’t wanna think about in twenty years
Reminiscing, feet up on the couch, saying
I remember that summer
The last summer
The last summer
The last
We were strangers in the dark and then we fell into place
The streetlights watching over, cast a shadow ‘cross on your face
I only see you sometimes and yet I know that you’re there
We’ll reconnect when it’s right and when you’re back I’ll be here
And I won’t waste my time on memories I wouldn’t wanna think about in twenty years
Reminiscing, feet up on the couch, saying
(I remember) I remember that summer
(I remember) The last summer
(I remember) The last summer
(I remember) The last

[Verse]
I had a trip take a left and
Made me wonder
What if I never came back?
All my friends I had growing up, glowing up, went and left the state
But they never came right back
Wasn’t even like that, guess I was just too involved
And they never said goodbye, too led on
And I always was the good guy, moving on
And I’m running out of my light
‘Cause I
Give more effort to others than they give to me
Unknowingly set on appeasing, and
I know that some looks are deceiving
Spent every day going and getting a new point of view
And the pointless forgetting and making excuses for an inexcusable nature
I should’ve stopped talking to a few months ago
And it wasn’t golden when Mac died
Made the last year the worst time
I remember I was out I heard the news
Felt froze inside
Pulled back in the driveway, I got hella texts
And then Gabe had stopped by and I cried in his chest
Felt like I had lost a homie a brother, somebody I looked for a cover
For all of the things that I couldn’t explain
I could feel power in words that he uttered
The first time I had felt all the pain, of losing someone like that, was a struggle
So much to handle when you hadn’t met them
And couldn’t say “thank you,” or “goodbye,” or all that
Thankful I had some people around to help me cope
It meant the most

[Bridge]
It all brought us together more than we know
And when I’m gone for a while, it’ll live through you
So give yourself a second to breathe
Just give yourself a second
‘Cause

[Chorus]
We were strangers in the dark and then we fell into place
The streetlights watching over, cast a shadow ‘cross on your face
I only see you sometimes and yet I know that you’re there
We’ll reconnect when it’s right and when you’re back I’ll be here
And I won’t waste my time on memories I wouldn’t wanna think about in twenty years
Reminiscing, feet up on the couch, saying
I remember that summer
The last summer
The last summer
The last summer
