"Friends (Summer's End)" lyrics

Come back home at summer's end
Looking for myself again
You held me like you do and said
"I will always be your friend"
"I will always be your friend"

Lightning bugs in cul-de-sacs
Out til dawn on the train tracks
Gave our parents heart attacks
But I will always have your back
I will always have your back

You and I
Were running out of time
And we didn't know it
Oh what have we done
What I wouldn't do
For one more afternoon
Out in the sun
Endlessly young

Time moves on and seasons change
Your whole life gets rearranged
And it's not fair but it's too late, oh
I will never be the same
And you will never be the same
And we will never be the same

Come back home at summer's end
Feeling like myself again
But without you it's all pretend, oh
I will always be your friend
I will always be your friend
