The summer ends and we wonder where we are
And there you go my friends with your boxes in your car
And you both look so young
And last night was hard you said
You packed up every room
And then you cried into bed

But today you closed the door
And said we have to get a move on
It?s just that time of year
When we push ourselves ahead
We push ourselves ahead

It was cloudy in the morning
And it rained as you drove away
The same things look different
It?s the end of the summer
It?s the end of the summer
When you move to another place

And I feel like a neighbor?s girl
Who will never be the same
She walked alone all spring
She had a boyfriend when the summer came
And he gave her flowers and a lightning storm
They disappeared at night in green fields of silver corn
And sometime in July
She just forgot that he was leaving
So when the fields were dying
She held onto his sleeves
She held onto his sleeves

And she doesn?t want to let go
?Cause she won?t know what she?s up against
The classrooms and the smart girls
It?s the end of the summer
It?s the end of the summer
When you hang your flowers up to dry

And I had a dream
It blows the autumn through my head
It felt like the first day of school
But I was going to the moon instead
And I walked down the hall
With the notebooks they got for me
My dad led me through the house
My mom drank instant coffee
And I knew that I would crash
But I didn?t want to tell them
There are just some moments
When you?re family makes sense
When it just makes sense
So I raised up my arms
And my mother put the sweater on
We walked out on the dark and frozen grass
The end of summer
It?s the end of summer
When you send your children to the moon

The summer ends and we wonder who we are
And there you go my friends with your boxes in your car
And today I passed the high school, the river, and the maple tree
I passed the farms that minute
Through the last days of the century
And I knew that I was gonna learn again
Again, in this last hazy light
I saw the fields beyond the fields
The fields beyond the fields

And the colors are much brighter now
Its like they really want to tell the truth
Give our testimony to
The end of the summer
It?s the end of the summer
We can spend the light to go
