I got my first cheap song hits
Forced my mom tho I was not good at guitar.
Just borrowing a six-string from a neighbor
On repeat, strumming G, Em, C, D
Dreaming to have a band one day
I then could play the axe without a copy
Yet I still do not own one
"Moment of Truth" by FM Static was my favorite
I could make countless guys surround me while plucking.
As a child, I could play like a grown-up teen in a band
But now that I'm partially grown,
I play the guitar like I was still in the summer of '08
Lost my teens to my social anxiety
And now I'm losing my twenties to a pandemic
Was confused and curious by "love"
Just lucky I'm not in the pudding club. (HA!)
Been attached with someone I shouldn't
Now I wanna cut the string but my hands are spineless
This guy told me he likes me but he's not sure
Geez. Just wanna come back in the summer of '08
Summer of '08 was the best day of my life
No thesis. No pressures. No growth hormones.
Back where the days were so simple
Those were the best days of my life
I would choose being scolded by my mom
Than feeling like being condemned by the universe
I don't like these things happening in my life right now
If this is what it meant to be an adult
Take me back to the summer of '08
