Just when the fireworks burn into the morning after glow
I'm still smelling like smoke
No I won't let go of our last Summer
Come On, Come On

Feeling alright, but not looking too cool
Caught me peeking through the fence of your best friend's swimming pool
Radio playing my favorite song
Get all the boys and girls to sing along

I don't mind when in September
I don't mind even if you don't remember this
I don't mind
I got everything I wanted just in time

You're going off to school
I kind of sort of thought of going back too
It's somewhere on a list of things I'll never do
There's way too much to learn about right here, right now

So come on, come on
There's a riot going on
Girl it's you and me and Sly and The Family Stone
If I could make Summer last twice as long
I'd hide in the photograph you'll bury under new and better memories come September

I don't mind even if you don't remember this
I don't mind, nothing's forever
I don't mind
I got everything I wanted just in time

So maybe this is goodbye
And all we had was the fifth of July

I don't mind when come September
I don't mind even if you don't remember this
I don't mind if all we had was the Fifth of July

After the parades roll by
The fireworks fall from the sky
Somewhere, sometime, some Summer night
You'll think of us and the fifth of July
