Kids Of Summer - Mayday Parade

There’s a time that’s always so fitting

Where the sites and sounds were just the beginning

I didn’t know that years ago I’d find myself

In ways that warped my brain

And I knew that everything would be better

If we only had more time

But in the moment I found simpler things

Yeah, in the moment I found mine

But it’s a long way down after the other

Twelve long months until I recover

It’s a long way down after the other one

Those days are long gone but we can all pretend

Our love was so strong

Let’s do it all again and make new scars

We’ll fly into the night like shooting stars

Faster, go faster so we can finally breathe

Turn up the stereo and let us all sing

Our favorite songs, the ones that keep reminding us

That we were the kids of the summer

Those days, I remember them hitting like a tidal wave

Wrapped up in a pretty little face

Covered me entirely with sun and rain through summer days

And oh, my heart grew bigger back then somehow

I got the feeling I wanted but it’s all gone now

Thought it would last forever inside my chest

Let’s keep it beating together

But it’s a long way down after the other

Twelve long months until I recover

It’s a long way down after the other one

Those days are long gone but we can all pretend

Our love was so strong

Let’s do it all again and make new scars

We’ll fly into the night like shooting stars

Faster, go faster so we can finally breathe

Turn up the stereo and let us all sing

Our favorite songs, the ones that keep reminding us

That we were the kids of the summer

The summer

The summer

It was all ours

And I knew that everything would be better

If we only had more time

But in the moment I found simpler things

Yeah, in the moment I found mine

But it’s a long way down after the other

Twelve long months until I recover

It’s a long way down after the other one

Those days are long gone but we can all pretend

Our love was so strong

Let’s do it all again and make new scars

We’ll fly into the night like shooting stars

Faster, go faster so we can finally breathe

Turn up the stereo and let us all sing

Our favorite songs, the ones that keep reminding us

That we were the kids of the summer

The summer

The summer

It was all ours

We were the kids of the summer
