I can tell that I'm losing my edge
From too many days stuck staring at the mirror
I wish that I could get away
And have myself an adventure
This busted lip is getting to me
I pray the spring comes soon, and sweeps this whole city
And all the souls like me who've been looking to run
Well, we'll take off our clothes and lay in the sun
Oh, and the days will grow long
Oh, and we'll sing our favorite songs
Oh, and we'll look at the world in wonder
I've always been a child of summer
I've always been a child of summer
Out on the beach we'll drink champagne
And talk to the girls who pass our way
And when the sun goes down, and the night comes on
Well, we'll keep the party going out on the lawn
Chorus
I was raised on the principal
That the way that you think, it can change the whole world
Well, in December I find it hard to think
But come July I'm on my feet
Come July I'm on my feet
Oh, when the days they grow long
Oh, when we sing our favorite songs
Oh, when we look at the world in wonder
I've always been a child of summer
I've always been a child of summer
