lyrics

I woke up wondering how I had survived
All those crazy years
I woke up wishing I could make it back in time
All our secret wanderings, we were in our prime
We lived in a time all our own

June was freedom, August was the chains
Of classes soon to come
The rich girls' parties, swimming in the rain
Kissing in the kitchen while their mothers filled the trays
Summer was a world that we made

I'd like to go back if only a day or so
See that bygone friend and breathe that summer wind again

Running through the streets at night
With all the grown up door shut tight
Tar stuck to our feet that still was hot from the blazing sun
When the four of us were slipping into someone's dark garage
For a cold mouthful of beer and the thrill of risking being caught

And we spent our whole lives laughing or else trying to hold it back
And the skies were always brighter and the eyes were mostly dry
You know, I still have got the flower from the fourth day of July
It has faded just a little, though I didn't notice when
Like a dollar that you've wasted out and wanted back again

Remember all our secret wanderings, we were in our prime
And once upon a time...
We lived in a time all our own
