Midsummer Riot

(Verse 1) The summer sun fades from the gold in your hair As leaves turn to whispers of autumn in the air We traced heart shapes in the sand, so unaware That time was slipping, a vanishing affair (Pre-Chorus) Remember how the waves danced at our feet? Nights so wild, so bitterly sweet But seasons shift in a heartbeat (Chorus) Now the fairgrounds are empty, it's all so quiet Gone are the echoes of our midsummer riot I watch the sunsets alone, can't deny it Summer's a dream, and we can't rewind it Speak now or forever hold on to the silence (Verse 2) The boardwalk's deserted, the laughter's gone Your jacket's still here, but it's been too long Rides are still, where we once belonged Under the neon lights, where nothing felt wrong (Pre-Chorus) Fireworks burst, but they've faded away From brilliant skies to skies of gray And I find myself wishing you had stayed (Chorus) Now the fairgrounds are empty, it's all so quiet Gone are the echoes of our midsummer riot I watch the sunsets alone, can't deny it Summer's a dream, and we can't rewind it Speak now or forever hold on to the silence (Bridge) Was it just a season's fling? Rapid like the spring, gone too fast, too soon I'm left with only tunes, played out under the moon (Chorus) Now the fairgrounds are empty, it's all so quiet Gone are the echoes of our midsummer riot I watch the sunsets alone, can't deny it Summer's a dream, and we can't rewind it Speak now or forever hold on to the silence (Outro) So I'll hold onto the memories as leaves will fall Speak now, love, or not at all Summer whispers goodbye, and into autumn, we're drawn Speak now, the silence is gone (Bridge) Was it just a season's fling? Rapid like the spring, gone too fast, too soon I'm left with only tunes, played out under the moon (Chorus) Now the fairgrounds are empty, it's all so quiet Gone are the echoes of our midsummer riot I watch the sunsets alone, can't deny it Summer's a dream, and we can't rewind it Speak now or forever hold on to the silence (Outro) So I'll hold onto the memories as leaves will fall Speak now, love, or not at all Summer whispers goodbye, and into autumn, we're drawn Speak now, the silence is gone
