One, two, three, four! We were broke kids living west of 35 Eating Whataburger every single night Your apartment had no AC half the time But somehow those were the best nights of my life You’d steal the aux and play Jimmy Eat World While the skyline lit up over South Lamar And every night we swore we’d never grow up Like the city itself was keeping us young And every memory still feels the same Sunset colors and your last name Cause it felt like summer in Austin Windows down and the whole world talking About who we were gonna be someday And all our friends were invincible Cheap tattoos and unforgettable Singing pop punk songs in the pouring rain Now every bar and every streetlight Still feels burned into my mind And every time I hear that old guitar It takes me back to summer in Austin You worked nights down on Red River Road I played cover songs in empty shows But after midnight everything would change The whole damn city came alive again And there were rooftop nights and reckless hearts Cheap beer kisses underneath the stars We thought forever was a guarantee Back when twenty-two felt seventeen And every song still pulls me right back there To humid nights and tangled hair Cause it felt like summer in Austin Windows down and the whole world talking About escaping this town someday But now I’d give anything just to Go back laughing there beside you Young enough to think we’d never change Now every bar and every streetlight Still feels burned into my mind And every time I hear that old guitar It takes me back to summer in Austin Maybe growing up just means Learning some nights don’t last forever But if I close my eyes I swear I’m still there with you somehow Yeah it felt like summer in Austin Late night drives and bad decisions Everybody chasing neon dreams And all our friends still live inside Those blurry polaroid nights Frozen somewhere in 2019 Now every bar and every streetlight Still feels burned into my mind And every time I hear that old guitar It takes me back Yeah it takes me back To summer in Austin
