Summerlong Lyrics


I know how to play this game
One, two, three and I'm safe
Count real slow to five
You couldn't keep me around if you triedI know how to beat the rage
Of my tender age
Touch me once in the hall
But don't look back and don't callThere are some things I can hardly say
You've got me feeling a brand new way
Please don't let this be summerlongAnd I used to play this game
In the middle lane
Pass them all on the inside
And don't get caught in a lieThere are some things I can hardly say
You've got me feeling a brand new way
Please don't let this be summerlong'Cause I want to stay, I want to stay
I want to stay, I want to stayAll the nights and wasted time
Trying to get my head to change its mind
All the talk of what it could be
When it never wasThere are some things I can hardly say

But you've got me feeling a brand new way
Please don't let this be just summerlong
Please don't let this be summerlong'Cause I want to stay, I want to stay
I want to stay, I want to stayPlease don't let this be summerlong
Please don't let this be summerlong

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
