I still recall every summer night   like it was yesterday   the time would never end   and my friends were family   nothing mattered more   than the loyalty we had   now i'm a world away from everything we shared      i had something better   waiting ahead   i try to take control of my heart   i had something better   but i'll tear it down and i'll tape it up   by my own design i fall      bring back the days   three story parking lot   the air is never dry   as the city falls asleep, days bleed into the night      the tables set the stage   for a life of memories   but i'm a world away from everything      i had something better   waiting ahead   i try to take control of my heart   i had something better   but i'll tear it down and i'll tape it up   by my own design i fall   apart as time passes by   i fall apart but the memories never die      and i still recall every summer night   it seems like yesterday but i'm still a world away      i had something better   waiting ahead   i try to take control of my heart   i had something better   but i'll tear it down and i'll tape it up   by my own design i fall
