  • Do you remember how when you were younger
    The summers all lasted forever?
    Days disappear
    Into months, into years
    Hold that feeling forever

    I remember the summer Lil' Chano gotta hold of his household
    The same summer that widowed Gwyneth Paltrow
    Back when I could trust in my dogs like Balto
    My family The Sopranos these niggas is altos
    First album, every track could be the outro
    Velcro to shelltoes
    Things that we will outgrow
    Used to rock South Pole, summers taking the 6 bus to South Shore
    Never sold out but now we out-sold
    That was the summer I learned to love the great outdoors
    Learned you get the feds if you can't keep yo' mouth closed
    That summer left a couple marks like Groucho
    That halo can turn hollow, depending how low
    That summer left a couple tan lines
    I love my city they let me cut the line on the Dan Ryan
    They walk on eggshells and landmines
    They communicate with hand-signs

    Do you remember
    How when you were younger
    The summers all lasted forever?
    Days disappear
    Into months, into years
    Hold that feeling forever
    Do you remember how when you were younger
    The summers all lasted forever
    Days disappear
    Into months, into years
    Hold that feeling forever

    I remember the last summer of the teens
    I can't recall too many summers in between
    Will Smith, Genie
    Donald Glover, Lion King
    My daughter on the swing like the 2017 Cubs
    My daughter mother double-ringed up
    Finger look like jean cuffs, or two lean cups
    Used to have obsession with the 27 club
    Now I'm turning 27 wanna make it to the 2070 club
    Put the 27s down, Lord give me a clean lung
    Took the ring up out the box, I know this ain't no brief love
    This story arc so sharp that it made the streets flood
    This the type of covenant you keep love, deep love

    Do you remember how when you were younger
    The summers all lasted forever?
    Days disappear
    Into months, into years
    Hold that feeling forever

    Do you remember how when you were younger
    The summers all lasted forever? (summer everlasting)
    Days disappear
    Into months, into years
    Hold that feeling forever Writer/s: Benjamin Gibbard, Chancelor Johnathan Bennett
