We were the restless brains and tired legs
Crooked smiles and pierced lips
Bug bites and stick n' poke tattoos
Fireworks in the sky on uncelebrated nights
We held our time dearly
As we only had so much of it left
We were the summer
The summer was us.
Nights overcame the days
We were out until dawn
Watching sparks fall from bleachers
Hearing collide with pavement, just like that bottle, and that table
Bandanas covered wrists and foreheads
Sweat was the new look
Torn jeans weren't just a statement anymore
"Memories fade like photographs" but you won't forget me
We can't escape us
After all, who can?
Amazing piece!
