lyrics

Verse 1:
It was simple , It was nice
But hot summer days fade to cool summer nights
I know I’ll recover from loving him but it might take some
Time, time, time

Weeks go by, Oh and I just cry
I sit and miss the days when he was mine
It kills me to know that he’s out there feeling just
Fine, fine, fine

Chorus:
He was out living while I looked through old photographs
He climbed up mountains, I burrowed into the past
He had adventures that taught him how to grow up
While I went backtracking through Europe

Verse 2:
Oh my friends, they don’t know, don’t understand
He’s out exploring and I’ve stopped making plans
He’s touched every ocean and lord he’s still got a hold on these
Hands, hands, hands

Chorus:
He was out living while I looked through old photographs
He climbed up mountains, I burrowed into the past He had adventures that taught him how to grow up
While I went backtracking through Europe

Bridge:
Retrace, rethink, rewind
He’s having great times and I’m just wasting mine

Chorus:
He was out living while I looked through old photographs
He climbed up mountains, I burrowed into the past
He had adventures that taught him how to grow up
While I went backtracking through Europe
