These Are The Times

sometimes the day seemed to outshine the night
but i never cared for twilight much at all
until i understood the precious july
i have my place on the avenue, while they cry

cant set foot on the summer street
until you find the beat
to dance with me

celebrating the fall of night
under the street light
with your friends all shouting

Chorus
we never get sleep on a summer night
make this our july
life wont wait when it's warm outside
these are the times

the image of self i would rather maintain
my outline strewn about on the window pane
laughter alone only inks my insides
it calls me out, calls me out while everyone cries

cant set foot on the summer street
until you find the beat
to dance with me

celebrating the fall of night
under the street light
with your friends all shouting

Chorus

we cant sleep on a summer night
life wont wait when it's warm outside

couldnt hide my smile
couldnt slow my stride
dancing into the drive way to go for a ride

look on the bright side
its gonna be alright
