LA's not so shiny now
Since we were home dreaming of leaving town
I can still see the suburban street
And I run back everytime I fall asleep
Forever was a lifetime away
We were wasting time
Beach drinking every starry night
Throwing backyard parties while your dad was outta town
We would scream along
To every New Found Glory song
On our way to skate the pier at Sherwood Island
Our world was so beautifully black and white
In my teenage July
The shows we'd play on summer nights
for our drunk friends having the time of their lives
Each song was a memory
that brought out midnight's best of me
Forever was a lifetime away
We were wasting time
Beach drinking every starry night
Throwing backyard parties while your dad was outta town
We would scream along
To every New Found Glory song
On our way to skate the pier at Sherwood Island
Our world was so beautifully black and white
In my teenage July
On the last day
It seemed like summer was starting to fade
We weren't ready to make this a memory instead
We drove to the road's end
You smiled to me and said
One day we'll wake up we'll and do it again
Yeah we'll be wasting time
Beach drinking every starry night
Throwing backyard parties while your dad was outta town
We would scream along
To every New Found Glory song
On our way to skate the pier at Sherwood Island
Our world was so beautifully black and white
In my teenage July
