of endless second chances
first touch and a last look
I will never forget what we took
what we looked like in the grass
in the summer night breeze
on our backs with an endless view of stars
Where only the moon saw all of our scares
but it shown so bright and it was just enough
to see all of you in the light, all of me loving you
(but we were too soon...)
With every attempt to go slow
it only took us faster
falling over stammering resistance
in persistence with laughter
We would meet only later finding defeat
because persistence only lasts
until you get what you want
and you said it but did you
ever really want, me?
I can still feel the rhythm within
and against my chest
as everything I was,
was caressed
there's no time and no one
(two, three, 4)
who could stop this, see?
but its only you who can make it last
Because summer races past
with thunderstorm afternoons
of winds so strong
Everything we were
gets caught in its mast
(You left too soon)
We remember just so we can forget
we were everything to each other
and now we just don't fit
So remove what's came
and don't worry about what will come
Yesterday, remember?
We were just summer kids having fun.
So laugh and cry
(oh cry so hard)
until you laugh some more
We've come so far
we have so much more in store
But this is a last summer
to recover our tracks
from roof top kisses
and places only we know
car rides round in an endless chance at love
to a farm where it all began, we go
But when it pours, remember
how we got there
Our tracks turn to mud
I will remember every glance, phone call
and every chance taken
just to fall in your arms
We saved each other in our youth
but now we're left in arms
Against you?
against me?
I could never really see
how our hands of love turn to riflery
So let's lay down
(I would have only laid down for you)
Because in the end, we all know
We'll have to lay down for someone
So soon you'll see
But you won't realize till
after you've forgotten me
Down to the moment you'll feel
the chill down your spine
As you surface the memory
of your body entwined in mine
When two become one
we became 1/2
because you didn't stay
Drenched in the heat of our love
So taken, that night, we were took
(We came too soon)
Here's that last look
a last first kiss
"I love you," without remiss
Here's your last look -
A look to you in a last summer
when everything was new.
Escaping from everything
we were told we "had" to be
finally free, to see each other free
"Come lay down for me."
"In a flash a heart is slain
you have to ask in all this pain
Was your heart too soft?
Was your love in vain?
Was your kiss too weak?
Were your eyes too tired?
And much too young to be in love
Much too young to be in love"
-Copeland
"...The summer came and you left me with your words..."
"Your wanting eyes keep me coming back each time...
lets get this right cause there are no second chances" -emery
"Did you notice that the clocked stopped running?" -mae
