the boys of summer

nobody on the road, nobody on the beach, i feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach, empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone, i'm driving by your house, though i know you're not home, but i can see you - your brown skin shinin' in the sun, you got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby, and i can tell you my love for you will still be strong, after the boys of summer have gone, i never will forget those nights, i wonder if it was a dream, remember how you made me crazy?, remember how i made you scream, and i don't understand, what happened to our love, but babe, i'm gonna get you back, i'm gonna show you what i'm made of, but i can see you - your brown skin shinin' in the sun, i see you walking real slow and you're smilin' at everyone, and i can tell you my love for you will still be strong, after the boys of summer have gone, out on the road today, i saw a green day sticker on a cadillac, a little voice inside my head said, "don't look back. you can never look back", i thought i knew what love was, what did i know?, those days are gone forever, i should just let them go but. i can see you - your brown skin shinin' in the sun, you got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby, and i can tell you my love for you will still be strong, after the boys of summer have gone, yeah i can see you - your brown skin shinin' in the sun, you got that hair slicked back and those wayfarers on, baby, and i can tell you my love for you will still be strong, after the boys of summer have gone
