sometimes the day seemed to outshine the night
but i never cared for twilight much at all
until i understood the precious july
i have my place on the avenue, while they cry
cant set foot on the summer street
until you find the beat
to dance with me
celebrating the fall of night
under the street light
with your friends all shouting
Chorus
we never get sleep on a summer night
make this our july
life wont wait when it's warm outside
these are the times
the image of self i would rather maintain
my outline strewn about on the window pane
laughter alone only inks my insides
it calls me out, calls me out while everyone cries
cant set foot on the summer street
until you find the beat
to dance with me
celebrating the fall of night
under the street light
with your friends all shouting
Chorus
we cant sleep on a summer night
life wont wait when it's warm outside
couldnt hide my smile
couldnt slow my stride
dancing into the drive way to go for a ride
