lyrics

Time's moving forward
and I'm getting older
I'm still trudging along this road
and I'm singing, but nobody knows

It's a summer night and I'm thinking
about the things I can't see
they're growing closer and they' re mine for the taking
I'm counting on them and they're waiting for me
It's the summer time and I'm drinking
to every memory
that got me here, but I can't help but wonder
when I'm looking back on this, where the hell will I be?

Because when next summer fades
fall will never feel the same
So when the choice is made
what will I say?

I've been waiting for a long time
to capture the peace in my mind
with closed eyes because I still believe it
I'll always believe it
But for now, I'm on the front porch
singing to all of my friends
because someday we might have to leave it
but we'll always keep it

Oh oh oh thinking through the smoke
I try to hold onto my breath
but it makes me choke
Oh oh oh if you only knew
the things I could never forget
that cry over you
The porch is stained
with the long lost blood of every season
We made our choices
and fled the scene with guiltiness and reasons

I've been waiting for a long time
to capture the peace in my mind
with closed eyes because I still believe it
I'll always believe it
But for now, I'm on the front porch
singing to all of my friends
because someday we might have to leave it
but we'll always keep it

There's too much that I've left behind
I said I'd always keep
and every boy I used to be
has found his deepest sleep
But awake in their minds
their dreams are mine
and they sing inside of me
For what is gone burns on
in all that I am and I'll ever be
