Summer Song
Forever the Sickest Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can tell you I'm ready but I'm not,
I can say that I care but it's not enough,
This summer's a one to remember,
And I won't forget
Followed you through the west coast,
Take my hand and I won't let go
This summer's a one to remember
So what are you waiting for

This is the night, we came alive,
Into the summer times, state of mind,
Fight for the finish line,
We'll be ready til the sun comes up
Goodbye then give it up,
This is our summer song

City lights of the 101
One on one tonight
Your body language speaks to me,
Yeah, I'm hearing everything I need,
Calm down to a moonlit midnight kiss,
Your lips, girl, will go all night,
This summer's a one to remember
So what are you waiting for

This is the night, we came alive,
Into the summer times, state of mind,
Fight for the finish line,
We'll be ready til the sun comes up
Goodbye then give it up,
This is our night, this is our time,
This is our last chance, all out fight for the finish line
We'll be ready til the sun comes up
Goodbye then give it up,

I don't want this to fade away
As easy as it came
I don't want this track to ever change,
'Cause this is our summer song

This is the night, we came alive,
Into the summer times, state of mind,
Fight for the finish line,
We'll be ready til the sun comes up
Goodbye then give it up,
This is our night, this is our time,
This is our last chance, all out fight for the finish line
We'll be ready til the sun comes up
We'll be ready!!





This is our summer song
