Lyrics
We were young and in bloom with a little room
in the back of your parents car
Watching the sunset on the edge of seventeen
The push and the pull with our hearts full
Trying not to go too far
Watching your face feeling the space in between
Sinking in, to the sin of a summer dream
The moon is shining through
Does it remember you
The way I do?
September came too soon
But I remember June
And the way I loved you
And everything I thought that we could be
At seventeen
The nights at the beach when we fell asleep
With our hands on each other’s heart
The crashing waves … before they’re breaking
But I was green and naive and wanted to believe
That love could never fall apart
That a summer romance was a chance worth taking
The moon is shining through
Does it remember you
The way I do?
September came too soon
But I remember June
And the way I loved you
And everything I thought that we could be
At seventeen
