First touch of summer
she's got your t-shirt on
Sun's going down, schools out
stars are coming on
You can't rewind it
but you can't ever feel like you do tonight
make a movie in your mind but don't rush it
Boy, you're about to see the light

So hang on to the light in your eyes
and the feeling
Hang on to your love drunk original reason
Hang on to the small town you love
but you're leaving
Oh, you won't be a fool for so long
So hang on

If you listen to the voices inside
they will do you wrong
You can look back over your shoulder
yeah, but don't look too long
It takes time to realize
that your life's gonna pass you by

So hang on to the light
in your eyes and the feeling
Hang on to your love drunk original reason
So hang on to the small town you love
but you're leaving
'Cause you won't be a fool for so long (hey!)

These things they take time
All these things take time
these things they take time
All these things I've learned
it's never a straight line
'Cause all these things take time
these things they take time

So hang on to the light in your eyes
and the feeling
Hang on to your love drunk original reason
'Cause all these things take time
these things they take time
And all these things I've learned
it's never a straight line

So hang on to the light in your eyes
and the feeling
So hang on to your love drunk original reason
So hang on to the small town you love
but you're leaving
Oh, you won't be a fool for so long
So hang on

(These things they take time)
Hang on
(These things they take time)
Hang on
(All these things take time
these things they take time)
Hang on
(These things they take time)
