I walked down the street where we walked last summer
Where you took my hand and we strolled side by side
The shadows of the leaves decorated the ground below us
Under a pale blue sky

You looked me and told me you were leavin'
Said you had no choice and that you had to go
I just sighed and looked down at the pavement
I didn't want to know

Take all the time you need I hear them say
But lately it feels like time's taking me
And I'm just along for the ride
How will I know when I'm through this pain?
Will I wake up one day and feel whole again?
Will a timer go off and I'll know this hurting is through?
Oh but all the time I need will never bring back last summer with you

I drove by the house where you stayed last summer
I knew you were gone but I went there anyway
I guess I wanted to see that old oak tree
And the front porch steps where we sat together those days

The pictures in my mind are starting to blur
Like the view out my window in a driving rain
Oh I'm trying hard to keep you close
But with each day I feel you slipping away

Take all the time you need I hear them say
But lately it feels like time's taking me
And I'm just along for the ride
How will I know when I'm through this pain?
Will I wake up one day and feel whole again?
Will a timer go off and I'll know this hurting is through?
Oh but all the time I need will never bring back last summer with you
Oh but all the time I need will never bring back that last summer with you
