Glad This Summer Sent Ya By AKB
All Rights held by Edwin H. Balder
you came from nowhere, heat in your hair
suitcase filled with don’t-you-dare
said, “let’s leave polite for the borderline”
“and burn some bridges without a sign”
you stole that soda from the county store
danced on the dash like never before
i never liked rules, but you wrote new ones
with lipstick maps and outlawed puns
glad this summer sent ya
now we’re miles deep in who even knows
highway hummin’ to our own agenda
no rearview shame, no plan to censor
just me, you, the tank, and trust—
glad this summer sent ya
we raced the sunset down old route five
screamed Van Halen like we were alive
hit that diner where the waitress swore
we’d end up famous or jail for sure
you kissed me slow by a broke motel
and said “this life still rings that bell”
i didn’t need saving, but you rewound
my sleepy soul with that outlaw sound
glad this summer sent ya
from backroad motels to state-line vistas
you made regret beg for forgiveness
no detour we crush this adventure
glad this summer sent ya
stargazed in every headlight glow
shared our sins to the radio
then laughed so hard when lightning struck
‘cause thunder cheers for those who’re stuck
you never said how far you'd go
but hell, you rewrote my zip code soul
and when they ask who changed my fate—
i’ll say: that girl who wouldn’t wait
glad... this... summer ....sent ya
burnin’ rubber through my dementiar
just promise you'll never say I up  set ya
just say... glad... this ...summer.. sent.. ya
playlist jammin’ like it knows our names
gasoline wisdom in sunset flames
ain’t in love, we are the thing
with a top-speed heart and a late-night swing
who saved the spark?—she did, she did!
who made me run?—that kid, that kid!
who turned goodbye into getcha?—yeah!
glad this summer...
glad this summer...
glad this summer sent ya!
