Your shades on my dashboard, shoes on my floorboard Lived in that old Chevrolet We were two Roman candles, too hot to handle Two hearts that couldn´t be tamed
Yeah, we knew what was comin´ And laughed it off like it was nothin´ Oh, but time kept on runnin´ and runnin´ away
Yeah, what can I say? We had our hopes up and the windows down Fallin´ fast in a one-lane town Tangled up with your lips on mine Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and I put my jacket on your shoulder Wishin´ the weather wasn´t gettin´ colder Lettin´ you go, holdin´ onto each other Closin´ our eyes, sayin´, "Slow down, summer" (Slow down, summer)
I was beggin´ those leaves, "Don´t go changin´ on me"
"Friday night lights, stay away" But the Fourth of July was just smoke in the sky And our sunburns were startin´ to fade
Yeah, we knew what was comin´ And laughed it off like it was nothin´ Oh, but time kept on runnin´ and runnin´ away
Yeah, those were the days We had our hopes up and the windows down Fallin´ fast in a one-lane town Tangled up with your lips on mine Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and I put my jacket on your shoulder Wishin´ the weather wasn´t gettin´ colder Lettin´ you go, holdin´ onto each other Closin´ our eyes, sayin´, "Slow down, summer" (Slow down, summer)
Why couldn´t you slow down, summer? Just wait a minute, we weren´t finished Can we just hold onto each other? Take me back to the beginnin´, oh Slow down, summer Slow down, summer
Yeah, those were the days We had our hopes up and the windows down Fallin´ fast in a one-lane town Tangled up with your lips on mine Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and I put my jacket on your shoulder Wishin´ the weather wasn´t gettin´ colder Lettin´ you go, holdin´ onto each other Closin´ our eyes, sayin´, "Slow down, summer"
Oh (Slow down, summer) Slow down, summer, yeah Why couldn´t you slow down, summer? Why couldn´t you slow down? Slow down Why couldn´t you slow down, summer?
