[Verse]
Riding bikes under the big orange sky
Chasing shadows without asking why
Tim and Willie laughing through the street
Ray’s tall tales
They couldn’t be beat
[Chorus]
Oh time you thief
You sly old fox
Running faster than my old wristwatch talks
Memories fade like a song's last track
I want those summers but they won’t come back
[Verse 2]
Ice cream melting as the sun burned low
Fireflies dancing
Putting on their show
The world felt big yet somehow small
When we were kings of it all
[Chorus]
Oh time you thief
You sly old fox
Running faster than my old wristwatch talks
Memories fade like a song's last track
I want those summers but they won’t come back
[Bridge]
Tim’s strumming chords that would never stay in tune
Willie’s wild ideas under the August moon
Ray had that spark
So alive
So bold
Life was gold before it got cold
[Chorus]
Oh time you thief
You sly old fox
Running faster than my old wristwatch talks
Memories fade like a song's last track
I want those summers but they won’t come back
