It's the summer of '09

And we're feelin' fine

Nothin' like hangin'

In the middle of the night

The fire's lit and the skies all right

Singin' our songs to the bright moonlight

But 2 AM comes fast

When you're livin' the life

That was one of those days

I'll be seein' again

Either in my life

Or in that outta-space trance

Just because our days fly by

Doesn't mean we can't stop for a night

Maybe in our high-octane lives

All we need is a little more summer nights

A/N:

I once wrote about how the first thing I ever published was a poem back in high school. For my efforts, I got, wait for it... a whopping 25 points of extra credit! May not have paid the bills, but did help compensate for me not reading most of The Scarlet Letter. I was not a good student.
