In the dead of the summer
Sun in your eyes
I'll always wonder
How you spend your nights

I think about calling
Then I think twice
'Cause maybe you're past it
Maybe I'm right

By the time the colors fade
You should be gone without a trace

Still I can't walk out the door
Without thinkin' we coluda done more
Without wishing it wasn't cut short
Stuck in before
You went and found a new life
One that they told you was right
You'll always be everything I want
And I'll just be an aferthought

I try to forget em
The Friday Night Lights
I still see you in em
When I close my eyes

Everytime the colors fade
I know for you it ain't the same

Still I can't walk out the door
Without thinkin' we coluda done more
Without wishing it wasn't cut short
Stuck in before
You went and found a new life
One that they told you was right
You'll always be everything I want
And I'll just be an aferthought

And I'll just be an aferthought

Maybe it's not what I thought is was
Wish I could stop
Cause ya don't give me much
Of a chance and I don't think you ever will

Still I can't walk out the door
Without thinkin' we coluda done more
Without wishing it wasn't cut short
Stuck in before
But you went and found a new life
One that they told you was right
You'll always be everything I want
And I'll just be an aferthought
