Summer Nights
The Johner Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It could be another Sunday night for all I know
Yesterday feels so long ago
A bunch of down-for-anything kind of friends
The days we wish would never end

Cause when that summer hits, it feels like time don't exist
The world's on hold, when I'm holding you
We got the windows rolled down, summer air blowing
It don't matter where we're going
Just a good long moonlight kiss
It don't get better than this
We're living it up without a care in the world
Something special about you girl
I could go on about what went down those crazy summer nights

Always in a hurry to stay right here
The memories we'll be keeping them for years and years
We're always hearing about how time flies
But we don't need to say goodbye, at least not today

Cause when that summer hits, it feels like time don't exist
The world's on hold, when I'm holding you

We got the windows rolled down, summer air blowing
It don't matter where we're going
Just a good long moonlight kiss
It don't get better than this
We're living it up without a care in the world
Something special about you girl
I could go on about what went down those crazy summer nights

This is the time of my life
But would it still be without you
If I didn't have you here

Cause when that summer hits, it feels like time doesn't exist
The world's on hold, when I'm holding you

We got the windows rolled down, summer air blowing
It don't matter where we're going
Just a good long moonlight kiss
It don't get better than this
We're living it up without a care in the world
Something special about you girl




I could go on about what went down those crazy summer nights
We're gonna go on about what went down those crazy summer nights
