We lay In an empty tree house I'm not sure what d** we were f**ed up on at the time But we were laying next to each other in an empty tree house In your backyard in Orange County talking sh** Smoking cigarettes, drinking California Coolers We were gone gone gone Gone beyond all sense We were looking We were squinting at the sun as it came streaming through the slats And you reached your fingers out for mine I don't know what we were feeling at the time But it was summer I think it was summertime You held my hand We held onto the floor Spinning out into the air We knew the world was ours We lay in an empty tree house in that backyard in Orange County And we made the kind of pact that you just never think You never think you'll have to keep We laughed even as we made it and then we moved on And started talking about gym cla** gossip We were f**ed up f**ed up beyond belief And then then we got bored and we drove around for awhile Went to South Coast Plaza and had a taco And some ice cream And then we pa**ed out in the car I don't know what we were feeling at the time But it was summer Pretty sure it was summertime You held my hand We held onto the floor And it went spinning through the air We thought the world was ours We lay In an empty tree house I know you already know this, buddy But I didn't want to have to do it But that pillow and your aching were bound together And they collided in that tree house in Orange County And we had known each other far too long And we had known each other far too well And I thought we'd grow old together laughing, squinting at the sun And so you know I'll never f**ing go back to Orange County And you know I'll f**ing never go back to South Coast Plaza And I'll never f**ing let you slip my mind I don't know what we were feeling at the time But it was summer Pretty sure it was summertime You held my hand We held onto the floor We didn't know it at the time It was spinning us apart It was spinning us apart
