You look away, you're speaking with your back turned. 

Summer's gone and it left me with a sunburn 

Whatever happened to our afternoons? 

Just assumed that you lost me like a left turn 

I spent my childhood lookin at the stage 

Waiting for the day it would be me and I could say 

"Slow down…" 

That's my philosophy 



I get by 

Making the best of what was mine 

If you think this could be what you want 

Then you just gotta try 

You won't mind 

Playing a victim of the time 

'Cuz I swear it's getting better yeah 

That's my philosophy 



It could be over in a moment 

The curtain falls before you know it 

Looking forward towards the next scene 

Remember back when we were young and still above? 

We're falling in and out of love and then again before the bell rings 

If you take a trip through my mind 

Who knows just what you'll find 

Stop dead in your tracks from her eyes 

Then put it all together 

That's my philosophy 



Remember the look upon her face 

Remember the way she loved the chase 

If we ever go back there someday 

I'd never, ever, let her get away 



It's drinking away the summer days 

A moment in time we can't replace 

I won't let my life go to waste 

That's my philosophy
