One More Summer Night

Lyrics

One more run down the waterslide Sun in my eyes, arms open wide Campfire smoke in my favorite shirt Marshmallow falling into the dirt Sleeping late with nowhere to be Bare feet running wild and free Now Mom's got pencils by the door Dad says summer needs one day more Everybody's acting nervous Like the clock is moving fast I'm trying not to think about it I just want this week to last Can we have one more summer night? One more fire, one more waterslide One more morning sleeping in Before the school bell starts again Third grade feels a mile away What if everything has changed? Will I still outrun them all? When they line us by the wall Can we have one more summer night Before I have to say goodbye? New shoes waiting in a cardboard box Backpack hanging by the clock My family asks if I'm prepared I say "of course," but I'm a little scared New room, new books, a bigger year Some old friends and some not here I know the race is coming soon I've been practicing all afternoon Maybe growing up is trying Even when you're not so sure Maybe being brave is walking Through a brand-new classroom door Can we have one more summer night? One more fire, one more waterslide One more morning sleeping in Before the school bell starts again Third grade feels a mile away What if everything has changed? Will I still outrun them all? When they line us by the wall Can we have one more summer night Before I have to say goodbye? If I'm not the fastest this time I'll keep running anyway Dad says winning isn't everything But I still want that race Give me one more summer night One more fire, one more waterslide Then tomorrow I'll wake up Put my brand-new backpack on Third grade, I'm on my way Even if I'm scared today And when everybody starts to run I'll fly beneath the morning sun But tonight, let the fire burn bright It's our final summer night One more summer night Then third grade, I'll be all right
