The shades on my dashboard, shoes on my floorboard
Lived in that old Chevrolet
We were two Roman candles, too hot to handle
Too harsh, they couldn’t be tamed[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we knew, what was comin’ and left it all
Like it was nothin’
Overtime, kept on runnin’ and runnin’ away
[Chorus]
Yeah, what can I say
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Fallin’ fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishin’ the weather wasn’t gettin’ colder
Lettin’ you go, holdin’ onto each other
Closin’ our eyes, sayin’, “Slow down Summer” (Slow down summer, summer, summer)
[Verse 2]
I was beggin’, don’t leave, don’t go changin’ on me
Friday night lights they away
But the 4th of July was just smoke in the sky
And the sun burns were startin’ to fade
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we knew, what was comin’ and left it all
Like it was nothin’
Overtime, kept on runnin’ and runnin’ away
[Chorus]
Yeah, those were the days
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Fallin’ fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishin’ the weather wasn’t gettin’ colder
Lettin’ you go, holdin’ onto each other
Closin’ our eyes, sayin’, “Slow down Summer” (Slow down summer, summer, summer)
[Bridge]
Why couldn’t you slow down Summer?
Just wait a minute, we weren’t finished
Can we just hold onto each other?
Take me back to the beginnin’
Oh, oh-oh, oh
You slowed down Summer (Summer, Summer, Summer)
You slowed down Summer (Summer, Summer, Summer)
[Chorus]
Yeah, those were the days
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Fallin’ fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishin’ the weather wasn’t gettin’ colder
Lettin’ you go, holdin’ onto each other
Closin’ our eyes, sayin’, “Slow down Summer” (Slow down summer, summer, summer)
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Slow down Summer, yeah
Why couldn’t you slow down Summer?
Why couldn’t you slow down?
Slow down, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Why couldn’t you slow down Summer?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
