Teenage Summer from Teenage Summer by High Home

Teenage summer, where have you gone?
I've been working the years away in that shitty restaurant.
Used to say that one day everything will be alright.
Used to say that one day we won't stay up every night.

Teenage lover, where have you run?
Are you hiding among the stars or did you crash into the sun?
Used to think 'forever' was inevitable time.
Used to think I'd see you on the last day of my life.

My teenage summer didn't last too long.
I got so high, I blinked my eye, and it was gone,
but I'd trade every pay just to get high with you tonight.
My younger days, they love to fade.
The best years of my life have gone away.

Teenage summer, did you call my name?
Are you working against me or did you hide because of the shame?
Did you say when I'd grow up I'd live inside my dreams?
Did you never tell me growing up ain't what it seems?

My teenage lovers always broke my heart.
I got so drunk, that ship had sunk, and I fell apart.
But I'd give 'er to my liver just to die with you tonight,
'cause my aching youth is tied to you.
Now all of my worst dreams are coming true.

My teenage summer didn't last too long.
I got so high I thought I'd die, but I was wrong.
And the pictures on your dresser are of you with another man,
So I think back to when you held my hand.
My teenage summer never really began.
