I don't like sayin' goodbye to those hot summer nights with you

We're laying down on the hood of my car
So high thought that we could touch stars
We're so close, yeah we're so-so far away (So far away)
Week by week, day by day we'd spark up
And we'd walk, and we'd walk, yeah
We'd some drinks, then more drinks, we made love then we talk
(Talk about)

Through the yes and the no's, and the highs and the lows
Through the good and the bad, when you smile when you're mad
I'll be here, I'll be waitin' for you, love
(I'll be waitin', waitin' for your love)
Through the yes and the no's, and the highs and the lows
Through the good and the bad, when you smile when you're mad
I'll be here, I'll be waitin' for you love
(I'll be waitin', waitin' for your love)

I hate sayin' goodbye to those sweet summer vibes with you
(I'll be waitin', waitin' for your love)
I don't like sayin' goodbye to those hot summer nights with you
(I'll be waitin', waitin' for your love)

We had an earphone each, yeah, listenin' to hip-hop
Saying your life's so much better in flip-flops
Got my heart like a postcard, always wishin' you were here
(Wishin' you were here)

Through the yes and the no's, and the highs and the lows
Through the good and the bad, when you smile when you're mad
I'll be here, I'll be waitin' for you, love
(I'll be waitin', waitin' for your love)
Through the yes and the no's, and the highs and the lows
Through the good and the bad, when you smile when you're mad
I'll be here, I'll be waitin' for you love
(I'll be waitin', waitin' for your love)

Chorus:
I hate sayin' goodbye to those sweet summer vibes with you
(I'll be waitin', waitin' for your love)
I don't like sayin' goodbye to those hot summer nights with you
(I'll be waitin', waitin' for your love)

Under sunsets and full moons
I'll be waiting here for you, my love
(I'll be waitin', waitin' for you love)
