When I met her she was wearing something green I didn't like
She was showing me a lot of useless things I didn't have
I was telling her a story with a joke but she didn't laugh
She just said stay a little longer
She told me all bout how that she wished that was born another time
About every one who didn't understand what she was like
All the dreams she lost while looking for some truth she couldn't find
By the time I had my answer
She was already gone

Oh summer's leaving
She's about to do the same
Oh I can't believe it
We will let this slip away

While we tried to hide our faces from the wind
She got to me
She said man at times like these it all becomes so very clear
There's a meaner soul around us
And a beauty to fear
So I stayed a little longer
We found a bench on which a famous guy had spend his loneliness
And I asked her if how she thought we got ourself in this mess
She took some time to answer
It's just growing up I guess 
By the time I had my answer
She was already gone

Oh summer's leaving
She's about to do the same
Oh I can't believe it
We will let this slip away

Oh summer's leaving
She's about to do the same
Oh I can't believe it
We will let this slip away
