last lake summer

We piled into that old rusted sedan

With dirt on our boots

and a half-written plan

Cheap gas station coffee

and songs on the dash

Just chasing the shadows

and hoping they'd last

We swam in the lake

as the evening turned cold

Talking of futures

we'd never been told

Around a small fire

on a blanket of pine

We drank bitter cider

and ran out of time And we

didn't know it was goodbye

(ooh-ooh) We thought we had winters and springs left to try

Laughing in headlights, no tears in our eyes

No, we didn't know it was goodbye

Now years have flown by

and we stand in this room

Comparing our lives beneath different moons

But the gold wasn't gold,

it was dirt on our hands

In a summer we didn't yet understand

And we didn't know it was goodbye

We thought we had winters and springs left to try

Laughing in headlights, no tears in our eyes

No, we didn't know it was goodbye

No, we didn't know...

(we didn't know)
