[Verse 1]Picture the river it's the 4th of JulyWe’re walking a pathway, there's light in the skyBike back to your house in a slow, curvy linePitstop for popcorn then off to the high schoolTo drink through the evening, just talking and singingThe moon it is beaming, soon the sun will be risingI wear my disguise as I say my goodbyesI'll see you back after the summer is over[Verse 2]Second year slump, biting my tongueLooking back now it wasn’t so roughTogether we'd sit and we'd talk on the bluffAbout how you were looking for moreSo I learned a language and headed to GermanyYou left the beach and headed for BerkeleyNow you're in the Netherlands and I'm in the cityJust know that I wonder how you are doing[Verse 3]How is your hometown? I miss going downtownThere at the concert your dad in the backWhere are you right now? I wish we could hang outI don't know where I'll be when you're backBut sometime I’ll see you and nothing will have changedWhere we had left off it will all be the sameBiking across town, thinking out loudThinking to myself, thinking to myself[Verse 4]Look through the pictures of us on the roofClimb up the stairs, walk through somebody’s roomHike near your house what a wonderful viewSeeing the skyline across from the waterOr New Year's Eve night on the Warschauer BridgeFelt like a warzone we swore that it didGrab a seat at the store and take one for the roadWe’ll do it again after this is all over
