When It Was Summer

When it was summer I played until the moonlight And my vision of the future was a day or two ahead When it was summer I lived the way I wanted Now I try to do that but I live the way I think I should instead I've gotten older but not wiser Because I know that things were simpler then But if someone tries to tell you that these are the best days of your life Next year they'll try to tell you again When it was summer it was all a big deal Except for things that now occupy a big space in my brain when it was summer all I wanted was to be grown up But I don't remember when that changed My my my my my intentions are inventions and dimensions of a never-ending thrill My my my my my intentions are just misdirections disguised inside my head When it was summer I looked in the mirror But only after a shower to draw pictures in the glass Everything was better in the good old days But we can't help it we grow up too fast There's nothing wrong with thinking back on the good times But you're in trouble when you're living in the past Everything was better in the good old days But we can't help it we grow up too fast There's nothing wrong with thinking back on the good times But you're in trouble when you're living in the past Everything was better in the good old days But we can't help it we grow up too fast There's nothing wrong with thinking back on good times But you're in trouble when you're living in the past
