  • I can't sleep, ain't no sleep a-comin'
    I'm just lying here thinkin' 'bout you
    I'm in deep, fallin' deep into the picture
    In my mind of everything we're gonna do
    Over at the lake and down by the river
    You can feel it start to rise
    Wanna jump in my car, go wherever you are
    'Cause I need you by my side

    It's gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together
    With your feet up on the dashboard now
    Singin' along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound
    And when you say my name in the middle of the day
    I swear I see the stars come out
    When you hold my hand in the back of my mind,
    Just waitin' on the sun to go down, the sun to go down

    I wanna see your brown skin shimmer in the sun for the first time
    I gotta be the one who knows just what to do to you to get me that smile
    One chance of meetin', you were walkin' by me on the street and I said, "Hi"
    And that was the beginnin' of my heart spinnin' like these wheels in my head tonight

    It's gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together
    With your feet up on the dashboard now
    Singin' along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound
    And when you say my name in the middle of the day
    I swear I see the stars come out
    When you hold my hand in the back of my mind,
    Just waitin' on the sun to go down, the sun to go down

    The only place that I wanna be is where you are
    'Cause anymore than a heartbeat away is just too far
    (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

    It's gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
    All I really want is more than this moment right now
    'Cause when you say my name in the middle of the day
    I swear I see the stars come out (you make the stars come out)
    And when you hold my hand and I look into your eyes
    Oh, I swear it looks like you're waitin' on the sun to go down, the sun to go down
    Ooh-ooh

    Oh, oh, I swear it's like you're waiting on the sun to go down
    Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa
    Waiting on the sun to go down, ooh-ooh

    Hey, yeah ooh, I'm loving thinking 'bout you, ooh-ooh
    I can't sleep, I'm just lyin' here thinkin' 'bout you Writer/s: Keith Lionel Urban, Richard N. Marx
