Summertime Record

The weather’s nice today as well, we gather round and stare up at the clouds
These lazy days it’s hard to tell, we close our eyes and fall down to the ground
A distant blurry memory, those days long gone seem so hard to recall
'Cause time goes on relentlessly, we’ve grown too old to see it all

We played with fake maturity, made secret plans just to burn out the day
We fight this war eternally and joined our hands just to find our own way
The strange, it seemed, came naturally, us lonely kids had no means to resist
The meaning never came to me. My fleeting heart, it grew amiss

Part through the grass and charge on through the day
Glare at the Sun through hazy rays
Stretching a hand you had said so kind: If you are lonely then come join the fight!
Even the thoughts that were born in those days, knocking away at the future we’d shape
Start to collapse and fade away from memory, was it all a dream we had made?

We gather at the secret base, recall those happy summer days
That simple time, it comes to mind, let’s tell our stories that way
The jet stream soars across the sky, it’s all so bright, we laughed and cried
What kind of face was yours back then?
I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to recall

The painful dark reality, had come so fast while we burned out our days
A common pace for you and me, but any second could crumble away
These extra days pass freely by. Even adults can be scared to go on
By now we’ve finally realized there’s more to life than being strong

Thoughts circle round in this world filled with light
Withering Sun that burns the sky
Whispers the words of a hazy place, don’t you forget your pain, walk all the same
Walking ahead we’d impatiently wait, dreaming each time of tomorrows we’d make
No going back, but to the world ahead of us all of it is ours to go change

But all those days are over now, our secret base and time we shared
We all were lost but soon had found, our friends and stories were there
Those lonely kids all joined in hands day after day and made their plan
No matter what road lies ahead
We all will meet again

Refreshing we all laugh and say, as all the clouds had cleared away
We breath it in, try not to cry, and smile through our goodbyes
We gather at the secret base and laugh through another summer day
Remember all that time somewhere
And we will meet so I will draw it again
We won’t forget
