I look back to the one and only summertime
When my girl was the envy of every friend of mine
She slept safely in my arms
We were so young and invincible
Closed lips, she was never one to kiss and tell
Those trips in the summer never went so well
Young love is such dumb love
Call it what you want it was still enough

And you're still out of my reach
And you're still all of the things that I want in my life
How could I ask you to leave me?

'Cause we were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes
We wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?

Our breath smelled of cigarettes and alcohol
We'd walked down the beach, counting every star
Our hearts beat inside our chests
Leaving us gasping for every breath
Her smile with the wind blowing through her hair
Was so contagious in the air
So satisfying and I'm still smiling

And you're still out of my reach
And you're still all of the things that I want in my life
How could I ask you to leave me?

'Cause we were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes
We wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?

We're falling down (can we pick up the pieces?)
We're at an all time low (and how do we get it back?)
We're falling down (can we pick up the pieces?)
We're at an all time low (and how do we get it back?)
We're falling down (can we pick up the pieces now?)

'Cause we were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes
We wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us?

We were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes
We wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?

The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?
