It's a long drive
White stones reflected in low light
Year after year, after year in July
I hold my breath as we drive by
With a long sigh
Old homes appearing on either side
Year after year, after year in July
I hold my breath as we drive by
♪
It's the first time
I find myself on the other side
With someone that I never had
With someone that I never had in mind
It's the first time (time)
Where I don't feel the need to hide
With someone that I never thought
With someone that I never thought I'd find
Don't make promises that I can't keep
Don't take all of this away from me
Won't make promises that I can't keep
Don't bring me to my knees
Don't take all of this away from me
♪
Now I know why
I never liked being a child
Year after year, after year in July
I held my breath for you and I
(And I)
♪
Now I know why
The fantasy of you here with me never died
Year after year, after year in July
I held my breath for you and I (for you, for you and I)
For you and I
It's the first time
I find myself on the other side
With someone that I never had
With someone that I never had in mind
It's the first time (time)
Where I don't feel the need to hide
With someone that I never thought
With someone that I never thought I'd find
Don't make promises that I can't keep
Don't take all of this away from me
Won't make promises that I can't keep
Don't bring me to my knees
Don't take all of this away from me
Don't take all of this away from me
