| The shades on my dashboard, shoes on my floorboard
|
| Lived in that old Chevrolet
|
| We were two Roman candles, too hot to handle
|
| Too harsh, they couldn’t be tamed
|
| Yeah, we knew, what was comin' and left it all
|
| Like it was nothin'
|
| Overtime, kept on runnin' and runnin' away
|
| Yeah, what can I say
|
| We had our hopes up and the windows down
|
| Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
|
| Tangled up with your lips on mine
|
| Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
|
| I put my jacket on your shoulder
|
| Wishin' the weather wasn’t gettin' colder
|
| Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
|
| Closin' our eyes, sayin', «Slow down Summer»
|
| (Slow down summer, summer, summer)
|
| I was beggin' those leaves, don’t go changin' on me
|
| Friday night lights, stay away
|
| But the 4th of July was just smoke in the sky
|
| And the sunburns were startin' to fade
|
| Yeah, we knew, what was comin' and left it all
|
| Like it was nothin'
|
| Overtime, kept on runnin' and runnin' away
|
| Yeah, those were the days
|
| We had our hopes up and the windows down
|
| Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
|
| Tangled up with your lips on mine
|
| Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
|
| I put my jacket on your shoulder
|
| Wishin' the weather wasn’t gettin' colder
|
| Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
|
| Closin' our eyes, sayin', «Slow down Summer»
|
| (Slow down summer, summer, summer)
|
| Why couldn’t you slow down Summer?
|
| Just wait a minute, we weren’t finished
|
| Can we just hold onto each other?
|
| Take me back to the beginnin'
|
| Oh, oh-oh, oh
|
| Slow down Summer
|
| (Summer, Summer, Summer, Summer)
|
| Slow down Summer
|
| (Summer, Summer)
|
| Yeah, those were the days
|
| We had our hopes up and the windows down
|
| Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
|
| Tangled up with your lips on mine
|
| Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
|
| I put my jacket on your shoulder
|
| Wishin' the weather wasn’t gettin' colder
|
| Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
|
| Closin' our eyes, sayin', «Slow down Summer»
|
| (Slow down summer, summer, summer)
|
| Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
|
| Slow down Summer, yeah
|
| Why couldn’t you slow down Summer?
|
| Why couldn’t you slow down?
|
| Slow down, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
|
| Why couldn’t you slow down Summer?
|
| Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh |
