I knew it wouldn't last but three lonely days have passed
Another week or two and I might have been fine
Now there's an awful lot to think about
And it's so hard to sit and wait it out

It's been three lonely days and nights but it's okay
I'm pretty sure that I can sort out everything
And I don't know if it'll be the same
But I promise I'll be back again

One day next summer I'll be back for you and all those days will be gone
One day next summer I'll be back for you
[x2]

Hold on to everything; everything turns gray
Hold tight and still it slips away
Watch days pass by so quickly like so many dreams
So little time together and I'd hate to have to say I barely knew you

One day next summer I'll be back for you and all those days will be gone
One day next summer I'll be back for you
[x2]

And all those days will be gone [x4]
