Lyrics

In the summer you turned 18
We thought we were invincible
We would stay up all night till the morning light
But we never thought it could ever come, ever come

We would talk like there nothing left to say
And your eyes of blue would cut the night away
You just wanted to live on a beach and surf all day
I just wanted to play my guitar so I just play

If you were a dream I just don't wanna wake
If you were a dream I just don't wanna wake
If you were a dream

You remember the night we steal away
To walk on the river by moon light
And swing for hours only seeing stars
And walk between the roses at midnight on a summers day

If you were a dream I just don't wanna wake
If you were a dream I just don't wanna wake
If you were a dream

Sometimes I feel like Bogie and Bacall
on a one way trip to escape analog
but April your eyes are like crypt keepers to me

So we set on different sides of the room
And make faces at the people we never knew
Do you want to run away to Mexico right now
You say it's okay we have no where to go
No where at all

If you were a dream I just don't wanna wake
If you were a dream I just don't wanna wake
If you were a dream

In the summer you turned 18
We thought we were invincible
