Meeting up, like we′re 17 again

Solo cups, but now we put beer in them

Laying back and daring me toDive into the deep end

Reaching out, how you been holding up?

'Cause I heard you′d recently broken up

With the boy you grew apart from

So much for your first love

And we laugh like little kids

Bad jokes for the hell of it

Mom says come inside, we say "In a minute"

But I wish that I could

Close my eyes, ignore the sirens

Watch the sun leave the horizon

We won't go unless we're dying

But we both know that time was never kind

And you know in July

Those summer nights belong to you and I

Moving out and counting the miles, this

Little town takes all of your breath with it

Fatal flaw, I′m sick of it all

But now that I′m leaving, I'm missing

All the late nights in

Let our deepest secrets slip

Holding tight, this was nice, wasn′t it?

But I wish that I could

Close my eyes, ignore the sirens

Watch the sun leave the horizon

We won't go unless we′re dying

But we both know that time was never kind

And you know in July

Those summer nights belong to you and I

Hold on a little longer

You're slipping through my fingers

The tide will pull us under

What′s left of you will linger

Hold on a little longer

You're slipping through my fingers

The tide will pull us under

What's left of you will linger

But I wish I could

Close my eyes, ignore the sirens

Watch the sun leave the horizon

We won′t go unless we′re dying

But we both know that time was never kind

And you know in July

Those summer nights belong to you and I
