Derek

[Verse 1]
Picture the river it's the 4th of July
We’re walking a pathway, there's light in the sky
Bike back to your house in a slow, curvy line
Pitstop for popcorn then off to the high school
To drink through the evening, just talking and singing
The moon it is beaming, soon the sun will be rising
I wear my disguise as I say my goodbyes
I'll see you back after the summer is over

[Verse 2]
Second year slump, biting my tongue
Looking back now it wasn’t so rough
Together we'd sit and we'd talk on the bluff
About how you were looking for more
So I learned a language and headed to Germany
You left the beach and headed for Berkeley
Now you're in the Netherlands and I'm in the city
Just know that I wonder how you are doing

[Verse 3]
How is your hometown? I miss going downtown
There at the concert your dad in the back
Where are you right now? I wish we could hang out
I don't know where I'll be when you're back
But sometime I’ll see you and nothing will have changed
Where we had left off it will all be the same
Biking across town, thinking out loud
Thinking to myself, thinking to myself

[Verse 4]
Look through the pictures of us on the roof
Climb up the stairs, walk through somebody’s room
Hike near your house what a wonderful view
Seeing the skyline across from the water
Or New Year's Eve night on the Warschauer Bridge
Felt like a warzone we swore that it did
Grab a seat at the store and take one for the road
We’ll do it again after this is all over
