Summer’s End

Verse 1

We were running down the boulevard,

With the radio turned up loud,

Two young hearts and a beat-up car,

Trying to outrun the crowd.

Neon lights in the rearview glass,

Midnight burning bright,

We swore that summer would never pass,

We'd keep that fire alive.

Pre-Chorus

But the days get shorter,

And the nights turn cold,

You can't stop the hands of time

From taking what you hold.

Chorus

Summer's end, summer's end,

Here we go around again,

One last kiss beneath the fading sky,

One last chance before goodbye.

Summer's end, summer's end,

I don't wanna let it end,

Turn the music up and let the speakers cry,

We'll keep the summer burning tonight!

Verse 2

The boardwalk's closing for the year,

The carnival lights grow dim,

There's a little bit of yesterday

In every song we sing.

Your jacket's hanging on my door,

Like you're still coming back,

But the wind keeps knocking at my window,

And summer's fading fast.

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, the leaves are falling,

But we're holding on,

If we can't stop tomorrow,

We'll make tonight live on.

Chorus

Summer's end, summer's end,

Here we go around again,

One last kiss beneath the fading sky,

One last chance before goodbye.

Summer's end, summer's end,

I don't wanna let it end,

Turn the music up and let the speakers cry,

We'll keep the summer burning tonight!

Guitar Solo

*Whoa-oh-oh!*

*Yeah, yeah!*

*Whoa-oh-oh!*

*Don't let it fade away!*

Bridge

Maybe we'll remember

These nights when we're older,

When the years have carried us

A thousand miles away!

But tonight we're still together,

And the stars are shining brighter,

So let's make a memory

That time can never take!

Breakdown

Raise your hands!

Shout it out!

Let the whole world hear us now!

Summer's dying, but we're alive—

We're gonna rock until sunrise!

Final Chorus

Summer's end, summer's end,

Here we go around again,

One last kiss beneath the fading sky,

One last chance before goodbye.

Summer's end, summer's end,

I don't wanna let it end,

Turn the music up and let the speakers cry,

We'll keep the summer burning tonight!

Outro

Summer's end...

But the fire won't die...

Summer's end...

We'll keep it alive!

Yeah, we'll keep it alive!

Summer's end!
