I knew that it was summer when we backed the car
It didn't really matter if we went so far
On our August adventure
We built ourselves a tent
Sitting by the fire in my sleeping bag
Scary stories giving me a heart attack
Summertime was endless Until it came and went
I wish that every day was now or never
Wish that every night would last forever
Wish that I could stay a little bit
longer Watching the summer slipping away
I knew that it was summer when we said goodbye
Finally allowed to spread my wings and fly
Started my own adventure Until my cash was spent
One look at the ocean and she stole my heart
Shared a sleeping bag until it fell apart
Our love was endless Until it came and went
I wish that every day was now or never
Wish that every night could last forever
Wish that I could stay a little bit
longer Watching the summer slipping away
Watching the summer slipping away
I know that it is summer when we backed the car
It doesn't really matter if we drive so far
On our family adventure
We built ourselves a tent
The kids are by the fire in their sleeping bags
Why is everybody growing up so fast?
Childhood dreams are endless Until they have to end
I wish that every day was now or never
Wish that every night would last forever
Wish that I could stay a little bit
longer Watching the summer slipping away
Watching the summer slipping away
If you're going to be a teacher,
then hit the floor
Don't be afraid,
go through it all Enjoy your destiny
Of wind and water Of wind and water
Of water and wind
Of wind and water Of water and wind
