You Only Get So Many Summers

(álbum: XX - 2012)

She was an open book with nothing left to hide
She took the long last look, she kissed herself goodbye
She headed for a lake that she had never seen
Put on a brave new face, slipped of her dress and jumped right in

You only get so many summers
So many moments you can steal
So many dances with your lover
So many chances at the wheel

She met a silly fool, they met on a mountain high
He never wants to look at the view, he never saw the other side
She met a wiseman, and he spoke of simple truth
"It's better to regret the things you did than the things you didn't do"

You only get so many summers
So many moments you can steal
So many dances with your lover
So many chances at the wheel

So many chances at the wheel

You can't wait 'til morning 'cause it might never be
This day could be forever
Let the moment set you free

You only get so many summers
So many moments you can steal
So many dances with your lover
So many chances at the wheel

You only get so many summers
So many moments you can steal
So many dances with your lover
So many chances at the wheel

So many chances at the wheel

Only get so many summers
