Stayed a Summer

You'd be my firework memory burned in my mind
You'd be my sneaking out, windows down midnight drive
I'd be your running late, made you wait Friday night
And I could say you were the right person, wrong time
You'd still be that Chesney song, still have your Texas T-shirt
Still smile when I hear your name, if we would've just stayed

A couple kids kissing in the front of that red 4Runner
Cherry Coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
Just a July goodbye
Sitting knowing how it ends, we would always get to wonder (wonder)

Could've just stayed
The ones that got away for each other
If we would've just stayed a summer
We should've stayed a summer

Wouldn't know how bad we'd fight, two drinks in, 2 A.M.
Wouldn't know how good you lie, wouldn't know how jealous I get
Wouldn't hate that Chesney song or torn up your Texas T-shirt
It wouldn't hurt when I hear your name if would've just stayed

A couple kids kissing in the front of that red 4Runner
Cherry Coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
Just a July goodbye
Sitting knowing how it ends, we would always get to wonder (wonder)

Could've just stayed
The ones that got away for each other
If would've just stayed a summer
We should've stayed a summer

Should've just, should've just
Should've just stayed a summer, mm-mmh
Could've just, could've just
Could've just stayed a summer (if we would've just stayed)

A couple kids kissing in the front of that red 4Runner
Cherry Coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
Just a July goodbye
Sitting knowin how it ends, we would always get to wonder

Could've just stayed
The ones that got away for each other
If would've just stayed a summer
We should've stayed a summer

Should've been nothing more than a summer
