We lay
In an empty tree house
I'm not sure what drugs we were ****ed up on at the time
But we were laying next to each other in an empty tree house
In your backyard in Orange County talking shit
Smoking cigarettes, drinking California Coolers
We were gone gone gone
Gone beyond all sense
We were looking
We were squinting at the sun as it came streaming through the slats
And you reached your fingers out for mine

I don't know what we were feeling at the time
But it was summer
I think it was summertime
You held my hand
We held onto the floor
Spinning out into the air
We knew the world was ours

We lay in an empty tree house in that backyard in Orange County
And we made the kind of pact that you just never think
You never think you'll have to keep
We laughed even as we made it and then we moved on
And started talking about gym class gossip
We were ****ed up
****ed up beyond belief
And then then we got bored and we drove around for awhile
Went to South Coast Plaza and had a taco
And some ice cream
And then we passed out in the car

I don't know what we were feeling at the time
But it was summer
Pretty sure it was summertime
You held my hand
We held onto the floor
And it went spinning through the air
We thought the world was ours

We lay
In an empty tree house
I know you already know this, buddy
But I didn't want to have to do it
But that pillow and your aching were bound together
And they collided in that tree house in Orange County
And we had known each other far too long
And we had known each other far too well
And I thought we'd grow old together laughing, squinting at the sun
And so you know I'll never ****ing go back to Orange County
And you know I'll ****ing never go back to South Coast Plaza
And I'll never ****ing let you slip my mind

I don't know what we were feeling at the time
But it was summer
Pretty sure it was summertime
You held my hand
We held onto the floor
We didn't know it at the time
It was spinning us apart
It was spinning us apart
