AIM - Back Then

Riding my bike through the summer wind White shirts dancing in the afternoon light Lying beneath that old tall tree Watching clouds paint stories just for us Time moved so quietly back then My hands grew bigger, but my heart grew smaller somehow Hey hey, summer days Running through the old arcade Hey hey, firefly Stay with me just one more night Old bikes, porch lights TV glowing late at night Hey hey, don’t fade away I still miss those summer days Hide-and-seek out in the backyard Flashlights glowing with our laughter in the night TV sounds drifting through the window screen Back when that little world was everything to me From my father’s shoulders, the whole world Looked so wide and beautiful back then We thought those days would never end Now they only live inside my head Hey hey, summer days Running through the old arcade Hey hey, firefly Stay with me just one more night Old bikes, porch lights TV glowing late at night Hey hey, don’t fade away I still miss those summer days Now even that old tree feels smaller somehow And my shadow stretches longer every year But when I close my eyes I still smell the grass And hear our laughter in the air Hey hey, summer days Laughing in the pouring rain Hey hey, firefly Wish we could stay young tonight Old songs, warm nights Mama calling from outside Hey hey, don’t fade away I still miss those summer days
