A common boy behaviour, to live as if tonight would be the last,
Don't care if I don't make, I'm jumping in to prove something I guess.
Sentimental feelings are only for the songs that made me cry.
And Jesus always loved me, even though I barely called him back.
That was the summer I grew old
But it ain't over no, it ain't over no.
If I could chase the waves till sunset then I meet the peace I need,
The days gone by are teaching me to be.
A simple boy with pleasures that ranged from kicking balls and fake ID's.
Beaches and a fire could satisfy the itching in my skin.
But talking in a language that hides the real messages we mean,
Like girls are just so stupid or man I really wish I felt something.
That was the summer I grew old
But it ain't over no, it ain't over no.
If I could chase the waves till sunset then I meet the peace I need,
The days gone by are teaching me to be.
And now my friends are gone, that's a lie we just got old and a bit less dumb.
But life gets sober now, like a cancer speeding up when you are trying to slow it down.
But brothers I won't let go, of the summer where it felt like we would never grow old.
That was the summer I grew old
But it ain't over no, it ain't over no.
If I could chase the waves till sunset then I meet the peace I need,
The days gone by are teaching me to be.
