I was alone and reckless My soul was still but ready to fight It was a beautiful time in my life
Wound up abroad searching for a girl Whose name I knew but if you asked could not remember Like chasing a ghost in your house that's not there It was a beautiful time in my life
Summertime sticking to the skin on my ribs I've done all I can and I gave what I could give If you don't know by now it don't end If you think that you're through, then that's no way to live Then again I don't know anyway
Wound up abroad searching for a girl Whose name I knew but if you asked could not remember Like chasing a ghost in your house that's not there You swear that you knew, "Yes I do, yes, I swear." It was a beautiful time in my life
