There's an all night Chinese take-out
Where the diner used to be
And the bar we used to hang in
Was right across the street

Should have gone for something different
Should have tried for something new
But I always find a way out
Of what I talk myself into 

And I haven't seen my friends
All summer long
No there's nothing much that I care to recall
I haven't seen my friends
All summer long
And there's hardly any summer left at all

You can feel September coming
You can hear the schoolbell toll
And I'm looking out for something
To get me through the cold

'cause the days are getting shorter
Won't be long until I see
What is out there in the distance
Beyond those barren trees 

And I haven't seen my friends
All summer long
No there's nothing much that I care to recall

And if I were to try and change
I guess I'd only stumble
And fall into a place like this again 

I haven't seen my friends
All summer long
And there's hardly any summer left at all
There's hardly any summer left at all
There's hardly any summer left at all
