  • Saw a picture of us, in the back of your truck
    It got me reminiscing on what we used to be
    I always knew it would end, but it's sure fun to pretend
    That you're just somewhere out there
    Wishing you're next to me

    Guess a fling is a fling for a reason
    Our love went cold with the seasons

    I, I'll always remember you said I look stunning
    With the rain on my face
    I, I'll always remember my makeup was running
    But you kissed me anyways
    Are you missing kissing in the pouring rain?
    I'll admit it, sometimes I wish things never changed
    I still think about it all the time
    The summer that you were mine
    You were mine

    Feels like it was just July, but it's September and I
    I kinda wanna call ya, but I'm scared you'll let it ring
    Saw your friends hanging out, they don't look at me now
    And damn, I wish it wasn't the way it has to be
    Guess a fling is a fling for a reason
    Our love went cold with the seasons

    I, I'll always remember you said I look stunning
    With the rain on my face
    I, I'll always remember my makeup was running
    But you kissed me anyways
    Are you missing kissing in the pouring rain?
    I'll admit it, sometimes I wish things never changed
    I still think about it all the time
    The summer that you were mine
    You were mine

    Was it love, was it lust?
    Did I think it'd end up with my head on your chest?
    "I love you" under your breath
    Was it wrong to believe we could ever be
    More than just a memory?

    I, I'll always remember you said I look stunning
    With the rain on my face
    I, I'll always remember my makeup was running
    But you kissed me anyways
    I hope you're missing kissing in the pouring rain
    I'll admit it, sometimes I wish things never changed
    I still think about it all the time
