The Summer Before lyrics
We didn't know it was the last one of its kindWe just lived it like we'd lived the ones beforeThe long evenings and the plans that stretched to nothingAnd the ease of people who don't know what's comingThere is a gift in not knowingA particular grace in the beforeThe summer before everything changedWas the most ordinary extraordinary summerThe summer before everything changedWe were careless with the time like it was infiniteAnd looking back from where I stand nowI would give so much to live one hour of it againThe summer before everything changedWas the last summer I didn't know yet what I'd loseSeptember came the way it always doesAnd brought with it the thing we didn't seeAnd I marked the summer with a kind of tendernessThat I couldn't have felt while I was in itThe sweetest things are sweetest in the memoryOf what you didn't know to hold more tightlyThe summer before everything changedWas the most ordinary extraordinary summerThe summer before everything changedWe were careless with the time like it was infiniteAnd looking back from where I stand nowI would give so much to live one hour of it againThe summer before everything changedWas the last summer I didn't know yet what I'd loseI'm glad I didn't knowI'm glad we were carelessBecause the joy was realAnd the real is all that mattersThat summerThat last innocent summerI hold it carefully now
