Summer Sonnet Lyrics
I spent the summer with my best friends
But just can’t seem to get you out my head
We’d hold the world off just to make it through
And talk all night of what it’s coming to
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t say goodnight
Don’t say goodbye
[Chorus]
Best damn summer we ever had
Lipstick stains come from the past
You’re the one, we were falling in love
For the first time
[Verse 2]
We heard the footsteps on the pier above
The water at our feet, we laughed and shrugged
We got so high that night
Saw the world in your eyes
Took pills to get the chills
Now I just want to take my life
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t say goodnight
Don’t say goodbye
[Chorus]
Best damn summer we ever had
Lipstick stains come from the past
You’re the one, we were falling in love
For the first time
[Outro: Jesse Alezano, Jackson Klonowski, Gabriel Olea-Macias]
Best damn summer we ever had
Don't close your eyes
Best damn summer we ever had
Don't say goodnight
Best damn summer we ever had
Don't say goodbye
Best damn summer we ever had
Don't close your eyes
Best damn summer we ever had
Don't say goodnight
Best damn summer we ever had
(Make the best of our last kiss)
