[Verse 1] That nights still there in the back of my mind Like the scene from a movie I like to rewind The backdrop was lit by a big full moon With no one else to please, just me and you [Verse 2] We dropped the tailgate down, I grabbed my guitar [Let?] every song I knew, we sang fishing in the dark And Hollywood can try but they could never rewrite The perfect scene we shared on that summer night [Chorus] I wanna go back to summer, that night on the tailgate Fallin for you, the first kiss, it couldnt wait My hands were shaking and your heart was pounding If there ever was a fairytale we thought wed found it But seasons change, and memories fade Like the leaves in the fall, you drifted away And every time I start to wonder where youre at It makes me wanna go back I wanna go back to summer [Verse 3] Well, I can still hear that old guitar ring As it echoes through the dark, reminding me The way that you looked with that crooked smile When you leaned over, said lets stay for a while [Verse 4] And when I pulled you close, my heart slipped away You said wed always have each other, sunshine or rain But summertime ended and the leaves turned to rust And when September came, we both lost touch [Chorus] I wanna go back to summer, that night on the tailgate Fallin for you, the first kiss, it couldnt wait My hands were shaking and your heart was pounding If there ever was a fairytale we thought wed found it But seasons change, and memories fade Like the leaves in the fall, you drifted away And every time I start to wonder where youre at It makes me wanna go back I wanna go back to summer Back to summer I wanna go back to summer, that night on the tailgate Fallin for you, the first kiss, it couldnt wait My hands were shaking and your heart was pounding If there ever was a fairytale we thought wed found it But seasons change, and memories fade Like the leaves in the fall, you drifted away And every time I start to wonder where youre at It makes me wanna go back I wanna go back to summer Back to summer I wanna go back to summer Back to summer
