Lyrics Sheet That Summer Knew Everything
We were barefoot on that gravel road
Sunset spilling like a story we told
Your laugh was brighter than the August sky
And I swore right then, we’d never say goodbye
We had Cokes in bottles, and time to burn
Every kiss felt like a lesson learned
We carved our names in the old oak tree
Thinking love like ours was a guarantee
We thought we had forever
But that summer knew better
It whispered through the midnight air
That nothing stays the same out there
Hearts change like the weather swings
Yeah… that summer knew everything
You got the call that turned your eyes away
College waiting in another state
I tried to hide the break inside my chest
While holding you close for the last sunset
I packed my dreams in the back of that car
Watched you fade like a falling star
Promised we’d find our way someday
But some roads just don’t lead back the same way
We thought we had forever
But that summer knew better
It whispered through the midnight air
That nothing stays the same out there
Hearts change like the weather swings
Yeah… that summer knew everything
(Male) It taught us how to love and lose
(Female) How sweet can turn to bittersweet truths
(Male) How forever’s just a word we say
(Female) Until life takes it all away
We thought we had forever
But that summer knew better
It whispered through the midnight air
That nothing stays the same out there
And when the last firefly took wing
We knew… that summer knew everything
Yeah… that summer knew everything
