Stretched arms on the dewy grass I feel the dirt in my hair and the dampness on my back Thinking now I wish I would've stayed standing Then I would've kept my favorite shirt But it was grass-stained that day Grabbing drinks with some distant friends Now to forget your name Or what came of a summer throwing our time around Like we had too many days and not enough to worry about But I'm nineteen now I'm not old but old enough to know That time goes by fast But as I kid I remember it being slow Like the water in the creek near my house Slowly passing by and polishing the rocks as it goes Crammin' pocket money into tall vending machines For cheap salty chips and sugar to rot my teeth I remember those green streaks on my shirt And the childish disregard for any mess Throw my time at something and hope it works Throw my time at something and hope it works I was grass-stained that day Grabbing drinks with some distant friends Now to forget your name Or what came of a summer throwing our time around Like we had too many days and not enough to worry about But I'm nineteen now I'm not old but old enough to know That time goes by fast But as I kid I remember it being slow Like the water in the creek near my house Slowly passing by and polishing the rocks as it goes As it goes As it goes
