I've got a letter on my lap that i'm scared to look at
Cause I know It's from you
I can't take this anymore the same self inflicted abuse
Makes my hands shake as I
Stay up writing that late night reply
Hoping this time I get it right
I knew you once upon a time
But I threw the book in the fire after
I read the last line
Summer intoxicates young minds
But we sober up with time
Yeah we sober up with
Was there venom in your pen
As it danced along the page
Oh I need to know
Was there meaning in those words
That you left behind your eyes
Because they spoke louder
I guess it doesn't matter anyway
We fell into the lives we knew we would one day
I knew you once upon a time
But I threw the book in the fire
After I read the last line
Summer intoxicates young minds
But we sober up with time
Yeah we sober up with time
Oh tell me what was the purpose
Oh what did you hope to accomplish
Where would we have been if I had followed
Only more broken
The sun sets on the summer of adolescents
A last embrace a first goodbye
My feet are sore from chasing daylight
I never meant to make you cry
But we sober up with time woah
We sober up with time
Yeah we sober up with time
