You look away, you're speaking with your back turned.
Summer's gone and it left me with a sunburn
Whatever happened to our afternoons?

Just $$#umed that you lost me like a left turn
I spent my childhood lookin at the stage
Waiting for the day it would be me and I could say

"Slow down?"
That's my philosophy


I get by
Making the best of what was mine
If you think this could be what you want

Then you just gotta try
You won't mind
Playing a victim of the time

'Cuz I swear it's getting better yeah
That's my philosophy


It could be over in a moment
The curtain falls before you know it
Looking forward towards the next scene

Remember back when we were young and still above?
We're falling in and out of love and then again before the bell rings
If you take a trip through my mind

Who knows just what you'll find
Stop dead in your tracks from her eyes
Then put it all together

That's my philosophy

Remember the look upon her face

Remember the way she loved the chase
If we ever go back there someday
I'd never, ever, let her get away


It's drinking away the summer days
A moment in time we can't replace

I won't let my life go to waste
That's my philosophy
