Lyrics
lock the door, shade the window
don't want anyone bothering me
cause I've found my secret place
it's the answer, the key
turn the lights off, listen to my music
my favorite song speaks to me
I've found a magic potion
she's the girl of my dreams
Best Summer, Best Summer
she wakes up, looks at the time, so late
why am I feeling so depressed
all her friends just way too busy
to call her back or answer her text
she walks over to the window
stares out at the falling skies
she puts her hand up to head
pushes her hair away from her eyes
Tina and Bobby would sleep all day
and dream of the night
stolen kisses and storming hearts
burning burning inside
Tina and Bobby would stand by the bridge
and look to the other side
never knowing that it was -
The Best Summer of their lives
Rise and shine but I don't want to
My boss at work says hello
But my head spins on empty
Why am I doing this I just don't know
I gotta make the southbound bus
So I ain't late for the show
She told me she's gonna be there
She's my heaven she's all my world
Oh-oh, she's my world -
Tina and Bobby would sleep all day
and dream of the night
stolen kisses and storming hearts
burning burning inside
Tina and Bobby would stand by the bridge
and look to the other side
never knowing that it was -
The Best Summer of their lives
When we touch all I feel is
Nothing but your love
When you speak all I hear is
Angels from above
When you breathe all I know is
Your breath feeds me
When we part all I feel is
I'll never love again
She pours a cup of sweet iced-tea
Takes a sip and wonders aloud
What am I doing? Where am I going?
Why am I so lost in this crowd?
Then she hears a faint knock at the door
Her phone drops right on the floor
Hey - do you want me to wake you up
Are you still goin' out?
