Flying through the grass as Sara counts to twenty
Our feet are moving fast, no hiding place is empty
Heart pounding as I hear the footsteps closing in
I'm it
Riding near and far, the neighborhood is endless
Our tasseled handlebars stream wild when we go fast
No plan or place to go, it's just me friends and me
So free
It was thrilling, it was pure
I was happy, I was sure of who I was
Sunny skies, unburdened mind
Just be home by dinnertime
Livelong summer days
When we would play from one day to another
Back then all the cares of yesterday would fade away
Tomorrow never bothered us in
Livelong summer days
Careless Whisper plays, wheels rolling to the beat yeah
DJ says "Couples' Skate" but we won't take a seat yeah
And then we hear the intro to our favorite song
It's on
It was thrilling, it was pure
I was happy, I was sure of who I was
Sunny skies, unburdened mind
Just be home by dinnertime
Livelong summer days
When we would play from one day to another
Back then all the cares of yesterday would fade away
Tomorrow never bothered us
Looking back it wasn't perfect
The world outside was messy, cities burning
But I felt safe and secure in my tiny little world
God, sometimes I miss that carefree little girl
Livelong summer days
When we would play from one day to another
Back then all the cares of yesterday would fade away
Tomorrow never bothered us in
Livelong summer days
When we would play from one day to another
Back then all the cares of yesterday oh they'd fade away
Tomorrow never bothered us in
Livelong summer days
