Lyrics
INTRO amazing guitar riff
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Verse 1
You said it felt like running,
Through summer streets we used to haunt,
Sneaking glances, acting braver
Than we ever dared to want.
Schoolbags tossed against your door,
Parents gone, the world so loud—
You said, “It ends before it starts,”
And laughed just to drown it out.
But how could we know?
Just learning what felt right.
Chorus - catchy
Do you know how much time we got?
Was it written in the sky, in those sheets we forgot?
All the questions tangled in our teenage plot
Do you know? (ooo - do you know)
Verse 2
You told me secrets in the dark
About fear and wanting more,
Fingers fumbling for the answers
No one taught us to explore.
We built our future out of promise
Scrawled behind your father’s shed,
Tally marks and tangled limbs—
Did we hear what each other said?
All we did was count the beats
Of something neither of us showed.
Chorus - catchy
Do you know how much time we got?
All those promises folded into what we’re not
Could you taste forever in a moment so hot?
Do you know? (ooo - do you know)
Bridge - beat slows way down
Years later at a party,
You said you barely even recall—
Which summer was the last one.
But somewhere in the scrapbook pages
We learned the ways that growing up
Means losing more than names.
instrumental - epic guitar solo
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Chorus - catchy
Do you know how much time we got?
All the years hiding in a parking lot.
Does meaning come when the innocence stops?
Do you know? (ooo - do you know)
instrumental guitar solo continues
.... ... ...
FADE TO END
