Back in the summertime
You owned my only peace of mind
But you left, taking all I had to give

Now in another life
You're back looking for my time
But I won't go down that road again

So just keep on passing me, keep on passing me by
Because I know, yes, I know you weren't right

Where you had to go
I don't know where you were and I don't know

Go on and say, go on and say
Just say that you had never meant to hurt me bad
'Cause I know, yes, I know that isn't true, yes, I do
You chose to do

Go on and say, go on and say, go on and say
Had no other way to go, you had no other way to go
'Cause I know it's not true, it was up to you

Back in the summertime
No one could ever change my mind about you
But now I've come to

So just keep on passing me, keep on passing me by
Because I know, yes, I know you weren't right

Where you had to go
I don't know where you were and I don't know

I don't have time for your new intentions
Whether you know or not
you had an effect on every day gone by
Since you disappeared

So many nights I had to be wrong
Waking up and think you're gone
'Cause I know I'm on that road again

Oh, so just keep on passing me, keep on passing me by
Because I know, yes, I know you weren't right

Back in the summertime
You owned my only peace of mind
But you left, taking all I had to give
