lyrics

In my dreams I see a time
When you and I were friends
Back before that summer ever started
When you walked in cap and gown
I looked for you again
Had I known how those looks were regarded
But soon our natures took their course
We took each others' souls by force
So only if you bring mine back
Will you see me again

On roller skates I called your bluff,
I took you hand in hand
After all those years we had it coming
Oh those nights of poodle skirts
And cowboy dancing fans
All the signs assured us we had something
The super trooper sleeping babe
Confirmed all the mistakes we'd made
So only if you spend the night
Will you see me again

When the leaves began to die
You started turning minds
You took your blinders off and then went running
Heavy how the ice fell down
Though we both took our time
Did you enjoy the finished product, darling?
I stripped away my dead profile
And became shadows for a while
So only if you shed some light
Will you see me again

With others I will live again
On Californian streets
If your blue eyes are there, I cannot see them
And if I kept my words around
For chances that we'd meet
Who's to say which one of us would need them?
But if your heart keeps its old plans
Then you can lay on summer sands,
But since I know you can't do that
You won't see me again
