The friday sun bears down again
as we drive with our friends
and all these longest days we spend
all our time trying to pretend
that our stories could be true
I tend to be cool
the setting sun says the day is through
if only we knew
and we all sit round you
and i hold down
listen to the waves
as they all crash down
and watch the fire
as it slowly burns away

glowing embers fly across the sky
you're here by my side
in our summer, our last summer
the world passes by
in our summer, our last summer
the lively shadows fall
surrounded by each other
I let you watch it all
a view from our last summer
(a view from our last summer)

we trace the sun across the sky
and we laugh til we cry
always so hard to say goodbye

and we all sit round you
and i hold down
it's a good life this
these are times we'll miss
the memories i hope will never fade

glowing embers fly across the sky
you're here by my side
in our summer, our last summer
the world passes by
in our summer, our last summer
the lively shadows fall
surrounded by each other
I let you watch it all
a view from our last summer
(a view from our last summer)

I would stop time to stay with you
I would stop time so we don't move
I would stop time
I would stop time
I would stop time to keep you

you're here by my side
in our summer, our last summer
the world passes by
in our summer, our last summer
the lively shadows fall
surrounded by each other
I let you watch it all
a view from our last summer
