"The future belongs to those that believe in the beauty of their dreams".


First Verse:
These December stars dont do our summer nights justice,
Your hundreds of miles away so you wouldn't know.
The moon is hiding, but I need to talk to it,
Because I know for a surety your on the other side.
Four months has been to long, too long to miss,
But I've done it and I'm surprised I'm still breathing.
You left as quickly as you came,
But I know your on your way babe.

Bridge:
I'll pace back and forth in my room,
Until I see the lights of your car pulling up.
I'll run outside and catch my breath and flashback...

Chorus:
I remember all the rides in your car,
On hot summer days when there was absolutely no end.
I remember the late nights gazing at stars,
And now all the letters I've wrote, but didn't have the nerve to send.
I remember endless happiness and carelessness,
You took it all when you disappeared.
But I ask you one thing, sadly, out of selfishness,
Bring it all back when you travel home.

Verse Two:
I'm counting down the days until I see you again,
I'll tell all my friends.
It got colder when you left,
So I'm hoping you'll share some sunshine.
Four months of living half a life, half a heart.
I won't even begin to lie how it tore me apart.
You left so quickly but to heavily,
But I can feel you getting closer.

Bridge:
I'll pace back and forth in my room,
Until I see the lights of your car pulling up.
I'll run outside and catch my breath and flashback...

Chorus:
I remember all the rides in your car,
On hot summer days when there was absolutely no end.
I remember the late nights gazing at the stars,
And now all the letters that I've wrote, but didn't have the nerve to send.
I remember endless happiness and carelessness,
You took it all when you disappeared.
But I ask you one thing, sadly, out of selfishness,
Bring it all back when you travel home.

Last Brige:
My hands shake and my stomach drops, as I see your car pull up.
A sight I've needed to see for so long, as I barely open the door,
And as I stand on the concrete, I realize this is it, what I've almost died for.
I see your figure step out of the car, and see your sweet smile.
As you walk towards me and say...

Last Chorus:
The December stars don't do our summer nights justice, I was miles away so I wouldnt know.
I tried talking to you through the moon, did you listen?
Four months too long, but if you come with me, I'll flashback.
All those rides in my car, the hot summer air.
All the summer stars, I have letters I meant to send.
Babe, I brought you back some happiness,
And for a moment...
Let's just not care.

You never know what you'll miss, until its gone, and then it hits you. But there's nothing like when the chance comes back.
