lyrics

You keep on pretending like you’re somebody else
You’re making new friends, but it's all irrelevant
It’s irrelevant

Bittersweet summertime
It’s dragging you down
When you’re chasing the lights
You’re acting like there’s nothing wrong

Bittersweet summertime
You’re talking alone
In the dead of the night
‘Cause you’ve been dreaming for too long

I can tell you’re feeling out of place
You watch the day go by
Counting the seconds

It's always down to one mistake
You locked yourself inside
Counting the seconds

You’re changing your hair again
‘Cause it’s out of style

You think you could rule the world
Since you lost your mind
I guess you lost your mind

Bittersweet summertime
The talk of the town
Like you're somebody new
Trying so hard to play along

Bittersweet summertime
It’s wearing out
When you followed the rules
It's all a game until you’re gone

I can tell you’re feeling out of place
You watch the day go by
Counting the seconds

It's always down to one mistake
You locked yourself inside
Counting the seconds
