lyrics

Cruising in the slow lane when I saw off the next road
A flickering sign, of a motel with a missing O
Takes me back to that summer with you, standing outside 
Laughing 'bout the way your name looked up in neon lights


We thought you were a rockstar, even playing for fifteen
The boys from school were drinking and filling the front seats
You made us buy a ticket, learn the words to every song
Seven years later and I still sing along


It felt like late night karaoke
In a smokey little bar
Couldn’t stop believing, teenage dreaming, 
When you played your old guitar
And I fell in love for the very first time
Felt like Summer of 69
Back in time with you
In my rear view


Saw you on the cover of rolling stone, 
Could that have happened, if i hadn’t let you go?
I hope it made you happy, it’s not bittersweet 
When looking at neon signs, I hope you think of me


Now you are rockstar, and you’re playing MSG
20,000 tickets and you’ve sold out every seat


But I miss late night karaoke
In a smokey little bar
Couldn’t stop believing, teenage dreaming, 
When you played your old guitar
And I fell in love for the very first time
Felt like Summer of 69
Back in time with you
In my rear view


In my rear view mirror you’re standing there saying “don’t go I need you" and both your hands gripping mine on the wheel

But I just stood there and told you “I know that I’ll only hold you back from your dreams and from making them real"

So I said "go"
And I let go


And now it’s late night karaoke 
When I get into my car
I hear you on the radio
Takes me right back to the start

Oh I miss late night karaoke
In a smokey little bar
Couldn’t stop believing, teenage dreaming, 
When you played your old guitar
And I fell in love for the very first time
felt like Summer of 69
Back in time with you
In my rear view
