Verse 1
It feels like only yesterday
when we were drenched in sweat and summer haze

when things were simple and life offered no Charades
Sun getting tangled in our linens
Minty breeze got us all grinning

Sitting in our living rooms
Dreaming of these scenic routes
Believing in these inner truths


This was all before any of our voices changed
when we play back our camcorders

we'd sound so ridiculous
But I digress, nevertheless


What I'm trying to say I guess
is that you gotta be able to laugh at all the things that you missed and miss
like the girls that you never kissed

these boats that you set adrift
these stories didn't go by script
but I'm really not that pissed


Summer's here and I ain't looking back again
This is an ode to everything that came and went

This is an ode to everything I really don't miss
But it's not too bad to reminisce, even if it's just for a little bit


Chorus
Rolling up the windows of my '96 Buick
So the rain can't get inside of it

I have more dreams than you have posters of your favorite teams
You'll never talk me out of this
