lyrics

Summer at the lake
Summer wearing swim trunks
Smell of open air
Smell of brown bag lunch

Napping on the pier
Getting my first sunburn
These are just some the memories
I wish I had

I wish I had tried it
I wish I had known
I wish I was braver
Thirty years ago

I wish I could go back
Knowing what I know today
But it happened how it happened
And that's how it will stay

Kissing what's her name
Underneath the bleachers
Dancing cheek to cheek
Surrounded by our friends

Crying when she left
Headed off to college
These are just some the memories
I wish I had
