Lyrics
The summer was young, and we were only 18
When she fired up her fire engine red Jeep
And we headed off into the sunset
Yeah, we headed off into the war
I was bookish, single, proud, and stupid
Arrogance was my middle name, and I knew it
We had nothing else we needed to live for
She had nothing else to lose
And I need you to take me away from here
I need you to hold me when the nights get long
And I need you tonight
I need you
Others came and went by June
In August, college taught us some things out of the classroom
Like how to wear your heart on your sleeve
And keep you running back for more
In our twenties, we talked when we had a reason
It seemed we'd finally lost our season
Until that night the call came
And she begged me for more
She said, "I know you think it's been a long, long time"
"Do you think we could give this another try?"
Because I need you to take me away from here
I need you to hold me when the nights get long
I need you tonight
I need you
