lyrics

In the middle of the summer it gets pretty lonely
Workin' this job just tryin' to earn money
But that's alright, I know where I wanna be
Back at school with my friends surroundin' me

I gotta admit, I miss being there
I miss playin' my guitar in the autumn air
I miss my friends

I miss walkin' around with my uke at night
I miss the glow of campus lights
I miss my friends

As of today it's the middle of June
I'm just wishing fall would get here soon
I'm sitting around, in this really empty town
There's really no one here to come around

I gotta admit, I miss being there
I miss playin' my guitar in the autumn air
I miss my friends

I miss walkin' around with my uke at night
I miss the glow of campus lights
I miss my friends

I gotta admit, I miss everyone
I miss hangin' out, I miss havin' fun
I miss goin' out when class would end
And having plans every single weekend
I miss my friends
