Slow Down Summer lyrics

Your shades on my dashboard, shoes on my floorboard

Lived in that old Chevrolet

We were two Roman candles, too hot to handle

Two hearts that couldn't be tamed

Yeah, we knew what was comin’

And laughed it off like it was nothin'

Oh, but time kept on runnin' and runnin’ away

Yeah, what can I say?

We had our hopes up and the windows down

Fallin' fast in a one-lane town

Tangled up with your lips on mine

Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and

I put my jacket on your shoulder

Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder

Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other

Closin' our eyes, sayin’, "Slow down, summer"

(Slow down, summer)

I was beggin’ those leaves, "Don't go changin’ on me"

"Friday night lights, stay away"

But the Fourth of July was just smoke in the sky

And our sunburns were startin' to fade

Yeah, we knew what was comin'

And laughed it off like it was nothin'

Oh, but time kept on runnin’ and runnin' away

Yeah, those were the days

We had our hopes up and the windows down

Fallin' fast in a one-lane town

Tangled up with your lips on mine

Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and

I put my jacket on your shoulder

Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder

Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other

Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down, summer"

(Slow down, summer)

Why couldn't you slow down, summer?

Just wait a minute, we weren't finished

Can we just hold onto each other?

Take me back to the beginnin', oh

Slow down, summer

Slow down, summer

Yeah, those were the days

We had our hopes up and the windows down

Fallin' fast in a one-lane town

Tangled up with your lips on mine

Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and

I put my jacket on your shoulder

Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder

Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other

Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down, summer"

Oh (Slow down, summer)

Slow down, summer, yeah

Why couldn't you slow down, summer?

Why couldn't you slow down?

Slow down

Why couldn't you slow down, summer?
