Summer Fades To Fall
Faber Drive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I count down the days
Until we say goodbye
I wish there was a way
That I could just stop time
Forever
Remember
Summer nights we spent together
On my car
Counting stars
Just wishing I could stay

I know we only met a month ago
With you
It's always hard to let the feelings go
When summer fades to fall
I'd stay
Should have known that this would come and go
With you
And all we'll get is just the afterglow
When summer fades to fall

Far away from you
Only time will tell
When you're back in school
Will you meet someone else?
Remember
Forever
Summer nights we spent together
Holding hands
Making plans
Just wishing I could stay

Should have known that this would come and go
With you
And all we'll get is just the afterglow
When summer fades to fall
Should have known that this would come and go
With you
And all we'll get is just the afterglow
When summer fades to fall

Every time I think of you
I don't wanna face the truth
Why wait forever knowing we may never follow through?
Guess I should get over you
But I can't let go so soon
I'll wait forever knowing we may never follow through?
Why wait forever just for you

I count down the days
Until we say goodbye
I wish there was a way
That I could just stop time
Just wishing I could stay

Should have known that this would come and go
With you
And all we'll get is just the afterglow
When summer fades to fall
When summer fades to fall
When summer fades to fall
Should've know that this would come and go




And all we'll get is just the afterglow
When summer fades to fall
