"American Summer (In Another Life)" lyrics

There's a couch in the swimming pool
A band in the living room
Said I was coming with you
But I didn't know how
My car in your driveway
We were midnight runaways
I remember how good it tasted
Going down

Stars suspended, where it ended
All the lights came down
And I'm so much younger now

In another life
We were buried alive, favorite lines
Memorized
Frozen in time, Fourth of July
In another life
Used to burn in my mind, saving goodbye
For another time
Running for cover
My American summer

Light on in your bedroom
In the quiet I wait for you
All the songs we were listening to
I can't hear them now
In the tire marks, I still see the sparks
When the car crashed over the bridge
I still hear the whispers
Outside the hospital room

And you were gone way too soon
I still think about you

In another life
We were buried alive, favorite lines
Memorized
Frozen in time on the Fourth of July
In another life
Used to burn in my mind, saving goodbye
For another time
Running for cover
[?] my American summer

(My American summer)

In another life
We were buried alive, all your favorite lines
I could memorize
I remember the first time, the Fourth of July
In another life
It still burns in my mind
Saying that we still got time
I never recovered
I remember my American summer
