Summer is about one of the last Summers I experienced where I had no school and I would spend the Summer vacation as I pleased. I wanted to capture and preserve the feeling for myself, forever. In the song, I'm essentially going through my perfect Summer day - from waking up to going home after a day well spent. I wrote this song in the Summer of College 2012 and this is definitely the oldest song off of the album. This song has a special place in my heart because the demo version was the first time I realized I could write a whole song and arrange it from start to finish. I didn't know it back then, but this song was the foundation for what Forgetful Bob was going to sound like.

[Verse 1]
I wake up to the sound of children jumping up and down
They ride their bikes all over town
It's half past eleven and I'm just getting out of bed
I go downstairs to get some breakfast
But all that's left is bread
[Verse 2]
In the afternoon we'll get together
Find a beach in this fine weather
Take a dip, don't let it slip
Won't let this slip away
[Pre-Chorus]
It's summer
Do what you want to
Summer's here
[Chorus]
I've been waiting much too long for this
(I've been waiting much too long for this)
Summer's here, Summer's finally here
I won’t waste a second of it
(Waste a second of it)
I’ve been waiting much too long for this
(I've been waiting much too long for this)
Summer's here, summer's finally here
(Summer's here, summer's finally here)
[Verse 3]
When it starts getting dark we'll sit by the fire
Lay down, relax, kick back and retire
'Coz summer's everything we want it to be
Grab a hammock, let’s sleep under a tree where we'll
[Bridge]
We can meet up and fall asleep in the stars
Feel the sand creep up all over your toes
We can meet up and fall asleep in the stars
Feel the sand creep up all over your toes
[Outro]
Driving home without my headlights on, I'm driving through the night
(We can meet up and fall asleep in the stars)
(Feel the sand creep up all over your toes)
Waiting for the sunrise to tell me I'm back home
(We can meet up and fall asleep in the stars)
(Feel the sand creep up all over your toes)
Driving home without my headlights on, I'm driving through the night
(We can meet up and fall asleep in the stars)
(Feel the sand creep up all over your toes)
Waiting for the sunrise to tell me I'm back home
(We can meet up and fall asleep in the stars)
(Feel the sand creep up all over your toes)
Am I back home?more
