the boys of summer

First Aid Kit

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer s out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I m driving by your house
Though I know you re not home

But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And your sunglasses on, baby
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream?
Now I don t understand what happened to our love
But, babe, I m gonna get you back
I m going to show you what I m made of

I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow and
Smiling at everyone
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said
Don t look back, you can never look back
I thought I knew what love was, what did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go, but

I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got the top pulled down
And the radio on, baby
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair slicked back
And those wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
