Remember big skies stretching over canopies
Hide in plain sight, sitting in them apple trees
12 hours in the day but we're not measuring
Family kept it all together, thats the recipe
Cruise across town in the old century
Seein sunsets that never needed editing
Glad that Veggie Tales never needed sensoring
Taught me he need the fruits and the celery
So we hang with the cousins, got out jackets off buzzin
Knowing ma is in the kitchen, yea she cooking a dozen
She yellin from the house to let us know that shes comin
There's three of us now and there ain't no buns in the oven
My memory is fading cause I've been stressing out lately
Wishin I could loop those afternoons on the beach in Whitefish
It's over baby
I'm racing all the summertime failures
Try to live in the '05 papers
Lets flash back to the old days
Back to summertime and our birthdays
Playin all night, run through the rain
Soak up the sunshine, soak up all the rays
I know we haven't seen each other in a while
Just thanking God that I'm not an only child
I need a hero, I'm not calling Seymour Wilde, nah
It's a competition for the first one down the aisle
But I remember the smiles, you be the first one to dial
Come and see where we put pink out of style
Come and see the bathroom where we put up the tile
Memories locked in the basement for a while
I want to go back
Runnin through the sprinkler
We got the church lady, backseat, a 3 seater
And we know, Dad could always throw the best heater
I'm really trying hard not to forget but time is on a speeder
If you got love for someone, go tell em
Before its too late, like you never met them
Too late, now its time to go to heaven
Summer 05 never gonna regret it
Lets flash back to the old days
Back to summertime and our birthdays
Playin all night, run through the rain
Soak up the sunshine, soak up all the rays
Best friends never die, we can live now
Too far to pass when we touch down
I'll be by your side when you say my name
We connect more than blood and DNA
Nothing too broke to be fixed up
Outside on the porch with Capri-Suns
Sweeter than any ice cream flavor
Better be my sister and my brother
Lets flash back to the old days
Back to summertime and our birthdays
Lets flash back to the old days
Soak up the sunshine, soak up all the rays
