The whole world was stretched out right before us
Or maybe that’s just how it seemed
Still too young to know what laid before us
We were living in a dream
Those nights we rode around in my best friend’s car
And we just couldn’t stop laughing
Sang those songs at the top of our lungs
Just waiting for something to happen
I still feel the beat in the back of my heart
I still feel the beat in the back of my heart
Time ran on forever on both directions
Never had a place to go
The summer was the canvas and we were the color
We painted all the city gold
Those nights we rode around in my best friend’s car
And we just couldn’t stop laughing
Sang those songs at the top of our lungs
Just waiting for something to happen
I still feel the beat in the back of my heart
I still feel the beat in the back of my heart
When the summer's over we’ll go our own ways
We get back together but it never feels the same
'Cause the light has changed in our eyes
Those nights we rode around in my best friend’s car
And we just couldn’t stop laughing
Sang those songs at the top of our lungs
Just waiting for something to happen
I still feel the beat in the back of my heart
I still feel the beat in the back of my heart
