Walking along beneath the lights of that miracle mile
Me and Mary making our way into the night
You can hear the cries from the carnival rides, the pinball bells, and the skee ball signs
Watching the summer sun fall out of sight

There's a warm wind coming in from off of the ocean
Making it's way past the hotel walls to fill the street
Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hand
Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet

And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be
Anything but mine

There's a local band playing at the seaside pavillion
And I got just enough cash to get us in
And as we are dancing, Mary's wrapping her arms around me
And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin

In the midst of the music
I tell her I love her
And we both laugh, cause we know it isn't true
Oh, but Mary, there's a summer drawing to an end tonight
And there's so much that I long to do to you

But in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be
Anything but mine

And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be
Anything but mine

We had a dog named Bocephus living in the front yard
He liked sleeping out on top of the car
He drank beer out of a mason jar
And he'd climb up on everyone in bed

A wide framed house in a college town
A bunch of people always hanging around
No real problems we needed to drown
But we tried our best anyway

We went to class just to pass the time
Back in '89

We had a keg in the closet, pizza on the floor
Leftover from the night before
Where we were going we didn't really care
We had all we ever wanted
In that keg in the closet

This old guitar taught me how to score
Right there on that Lambda Chi porch
Mary Ann taught me a little more
About wanting what you can't have

Sweatshirts and flag football
Spring breaks down in Panama
For a while we had it all
We never dreamed it wouldn't last

We went to class just to pass the time
Back in '89

We had a keg in the closet, pizza on the floor
Leftover from the night before
Where we were going we didn't really care
We had all we ever wanted
In that keg in the closet

We all kind of went our separate ways
But I swear it seems like yesterday

Keg in the closet, pizza on the floor
Leftover from the night before
Where we were going we didn't really care
We had all we ever wanted
In that keg in the closet

exams are killing me right about now. english isn't that bad though. should be easy
