like a bottle rocket on the 4th of july
we shot up to heaven in the blink of a summer sky
time on our hands beer in our cups
nights didn't end 'till the sun came creeping up
we sang we laughed we danced
we had a first time feeling time of our lives
over our heads in the back seat of my dad's car
flying high like a seaside roller coaster
but when that summer wind blew colder
over. when i see summer steam fogging up a window
i see your finger drawing hearts with little x's and o's
beach towel kisses on the edge of the dock
a cannon ball splash untying that bikini top
held onto mine like they'd never let go
over our heads in the back seat of my dad's car
flying high like a seaside roller coaster
but when that summer wind blew colder
we were over. wave after wave keeps rolling in
taking me to way back when
over our heads in the back seat of my dad's car
flying high like a seaside roller coaster
but when that summer wind blew colder
we were just over. and i wish we could start over.
