You packed your bags and left the city
You said goodbye and to forget
You thought New York was always pretty
So L.A. and I had only memories left
Already August
And already gone
The summers would last forever
When we were young
And in love
But summer's gone
And you've moved on
You tend to come and go like seasons
But like to leave me in your cold
Never thought there'd be a day when you were actually leaving
Without the chance of coming home
Missed phone calls
Few and far between
Check my phone a little less
Stuck on delivered but never seen
But summer's gone
Gone
We'll carry
We'll carry on
You were always gone even when you were there
You'd never try
A work of art with detailed care
You'd paint outside our lines
You were reckless
And I was young
Love appealed where every word stung
So caught up in the view
But I didn't care as long as it was me and you
Love comes and love goes
What happens when it's gone
Love seemed it'd last forever
When it was new
When we were young
But summer's gone
Summer's gone
I'll carry on
