It Was Summer... (Baby Steps)

(album: A Season In Hell - 2006)

And it was summer
Don't hide your sunburn
Wear that shirt that's cut so low
I know you loved her
But couldn't trust her
So lets take this extra slow
Sleeping in and we're nowhere near the weekend
Waking up inside a basement with my best friends
We chased our dreams from 9-5
But when the sun goes down is when we felt alive...

You say you'd never let this go
I say we forget what we know
Keep taking baby steps
We're still so far ahead
In summer heat we lose our clothes
And it won't hurt what they don't know
Keep taking baby steps
We're still so far, so far ahead...

Summer secrets keep me breathing
My old routine stopped repeating
And I'll never forget anything
That happened today
The days go by but we don't change
Dear summer, I won't forget you
Walk away but I won't let you
And I'll never forget anything
That happened today
The days go by but we don't change

You say you'd never let this go
I say we forget what we know
Keep taking baby steps
We're still so far ahead
In summer heat we lose our clothes
And it won't hurt what they don't know
Keep taking baby steps
We're still so far, so far ahead....

And here's the best part
It's got the best start
No one saw this coming from a mile away
So unexpected, I know you meant it
If I can't have you I'll dream about you
So I'll be sleeping because this dreaming
Is as close as I can get to getting close to you
So close my eyes, don't wake me up
Keep taking baby steps
