"Last Summer"

The Friday sun bears down again

As we drive without friends

And on these longest days we spend

All the time trying to pretend

That our stories could be true

Our chance to be cool

The setting sunset says the day is through

If only we knew...

And we all sit around here in our home town

Listen to the waves as they all crash down

And watch the fire as it slowly burns away

Glowing embers fly across the sky

Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer

The world passes by in my summer, our last summer

The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other

Alive to watch it all, the view from our last summer

The view from our last summer...

We trace the sun across the sky

And we laugh till we cry

Always so hard to say goodbye (good bye)

And we all sit round here in our home town

It's so good like this, these are times we'll miss

The memories, I hope they'll never fade

Glowing embers lie across the sky

Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer

The world passes by in my summer, our last summer

The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other

Alive to watch it all, the view through our last summer

The view from our last summer...

I would stop time to stay with you

I would stop time so we don't move

I would stop time

I would stop time

I would stop time to keep you

Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer

The world passes by in my summer, our last summer

The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other

Alive to watch it all, the view from our last summer

EDIT: damnit, didnt fully read your post...i thought this WAS for graudation...haha, oh well...i tried

It's graduation time, and you know what that usually means - video montages of everyone with sad, goodbye music in the background. My video montage project this year isn't for the graduating class though - it's for the advisors of our Key Club who are stepping down after 20some-odd years. Anyone have any ideas for some good goodbye music (music with an overall "goodbye" theme to it). Here's a list I've compiled already:

Time of Your Life - Green Day

Graduation - Vitamin C

Everybody Hurts - R.E.M.

My Immortal - Evanescence

I want to try not to use Time of Your Life or Graduation since they're OVERUSED so much. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Iris Dement - Our Town

I'm sick of these contemporary pop songs.

Coldplay - clocks (if you edit it)

The Rembrandts - I'll Be There For You (Friends theme)

Queen - we are the champions ;)

Enya - Only Time

Frank Sinatra - My way

Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder - That's what friends are for

this friendly world (from the movie "Man on the moon")

doris day - que sera sera

Gloria Estefan - Reach

louis armstrong - what a wonderful world

randy newman - you've got a friend in me

whitney houston - one moment in time

somewhere over the rainbow (from 50 first dates and Finding Forrester, can't really tell the who the singer is)

it really depends on what point you want to focus on..

Do you really like like him and wish he wouldn't leave? Or you're indifferent and if he's there or not doesn't make a difference?

But DO tell was what was your final choice!

While I agree you can never go wrong with Pearl Jam, you should give serious consideration to:

Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye -from the Grace Album, studio cut not the live version.

Hear a clip here at Tower Records

This is our last goodbye

I hate to feel the love between us die

But it's over

Just hear this and then i'll go

You gave me more to live for

More than you'll ever know

This is our last embrace

Must I dream and always see your face

Why can't we overcome this wall

Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me

But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation

You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time

I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"

And did you rush to the phone to call

Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind

Saying maybe you didn't know him at all

You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime

Burning clues into this heart of mine

Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories

Offer signs that it's over... it's over
