Samantha Lane - Roswell Mill Lyrics

There's not much to do in a Georgia summer
So we just work from nine to four
Preston picks me up at 8 am
Playing songs I don't remember anymore
We change into swimsuits beneath our sweaters
Watch the clock move twice as slow
Cause when the sky turns gold, we'll hit the road
Down the hill and to the riverbed to go
For a sunset swim
And I'm thinking as the light grows dim
We won't stay forever
Hiking Blue Ridge Mountains
To impress the boys we like
Then staying up with them all night
I said, "God, I'm gonna miss this"
Practicing first kisses
In the shallows of the Roswell Mill
Lauren keeps hating her hair and dyes it
Then inks a world map on her arm
And Luke laughs that I'm too scared to drink
Then he panics when he hears his parents' car
Drew hustles hard to get to college
Lia floats above it all
Emma's just so hurt from fighting words
That she isn't sure her passion's still her call
And as time runs out
All that I can think about is
We won't stay forever
Hiking Blue Ridge Mountains
To impress the boys we like
Then staying up with them all night
I said, "God, I'm gonna miss this"
Practicing first kisses
In the shallows of the Roswell Mill (shallows of the Roswell Mill)
Drew's got a full ride offer
The kind he can't turn down
And Emma's family's settled somewhere back in Texas by now
Lia and Lauren ran far
From the whole damn circus scene
Now home just doesn't feel the same it did at seventeen
There's not much to do in a Georgia summer
When all your friends have left for good
It's the first break after freshman year
And it's quiet when I pass our neighborhood
I look for the swimsuit I bought last summer
Pull the car out of the lot
And I drive with sunrise in my eyes
Playing songs I could've sworn that I forgot
Coming here again
I can't help but think about back then
We didn't stay forever
Hiking Blue Ridge Mountains
To impress the boys we liked
Then staying up with them all night
I think, "God, I really miss this"
As the sunlight glistens
On the shallows of the Roswell Mill (shallows of the Roswell Mill)
Said we'd live forever
Taking off the sunroof
Just to scream into the night
And watching for the red moon's height
And now, God, I really miss this
I can see our shadows
In the shallows of the Roswell Mill (shallows of the Roswell Mill)
(God, I'm gonna miss this)
We could stay forever
Driving to the seaside
Where we gaze up at the night
The shooting stars and airplane lights
I said, "God, I'm gonna miss this"
Praying for first kisses
In the shallows of the Roswell Mill
God, I miss the Roswell Mill
