One of the earliest tracks I've ever done! I did this a couple years ago, before I had better mics and equipment. I just made the best of what I had. Even if that does mean trebly vox with a little clipping (sorry!)

lyrics

Happy days and late night,
playing games and flying kites,
the days of summer just never seemed to end!
But school then started way too soon,
and Christmas was always so so far away...
...far away...

but then the years flew so quickly by,
and I'm stuck here wondering why,
the clouds don't show animals in the sky anymore...
the clouds don't show animals in the sky anymore.

Why does time have to fly by?
Why does the future always make me cry?
Why can't we go back in our lives?
So we can plainly see
our mistakes so clearly.
All things I could have fixed!
I miss the freedom of being six...
When every day had a blank slate,
every sunny day was so great!
When we paid no mind to our fate,
with every sunny day and blank slate.

Darker days and early nights,
doing homework, school fights.
I wish life didn't go by so fast...
Because college started way too soon,
and freedom seemed so long, long ago.
Long ago...

but then the years flew so quickly by,
and I'm stuck here wondering why,
the clouds don't show animals in the sky anymore...
the clouds don't show animals in the sky anymore.

Why does time have to fly by?
Why does the future always make me cry?
Why can't we go back in our lives?
So we can plainly see
our mistakes so clearly.
All things I could have fixed!
I miss the freedom of being six...
When every day had a blank slate,
every sunny day was so great!
When we paid no mind to our fate,
with every sunny day and blank slate.

{Chaotic Interlude}

Goodbye Summer...
