I swear you've heard this song before
But clearly you're not listening
I know there's something that we're missing
There's something more out there

We never take a chance to look
Confined to our friendly TV sets
And childlike fantasies
As the summer simply passes by outside...

Get up and get ready
We have no time to waste
For if tommorrow never came
At least we lived today

So car rides and summer nights
And water falling down in tune
To shaking smiles and power chords
And things I'd never say to you
This one's to the days we missed
And the girls we never kissed
With eyes so blue...with eyes so blue

So put on your clothes and paste on a smile
I'm sick of worry taking over your life
Yesterday is through and that's enough
To make this world brand new

So take a chance and finally see
Everything you mean to me...

Get up and get ready
We have no time to waste
For if tommorrow never came
At least we lived today

So car rides and summer nights
And water falling down in tune
To shaking smiles and power chords
And things I'd never say to you
This one's to the summer nights
Where truth is all we had inside
Our lives so true...and your eyes so blue

(Why would you ever let go of this?)
Your eyes so blue...

So car rides and summer nights
And water falling down in tune
To shaking smiles and power chords
And things I'd never say to you
This one's to the summer nights
Where truth is all we had inside
Our lives so true...and your eyes so blue
