When the days stretch out so long,

They seem to go on forever

Drinks are cold just like the water

Our skin gets covered by burns and tans

And that's when we turn the music up loud

And we laugh and we dance

Wavy hair and flip flops,

Parties and late nights,

Shorts and sunsets,

Swimming and long bike rides

When you're finally free of stress,

Free of assignments and essays and worries

Eating ice cream, camping, star gazing

Doing something new everyday and keeping it exciting

Losing track of time, but finding yourself

Sipping lemonade, drawing in the sand

Driving without any destination, hanging out with friends

Sleeping in and riding roller coasters

Having movie marathons and pulling all nighters

Patience, soon it will be summer
