Verse 1: (no guitar, but the banjo continues to play a similar pattern as in the
intro. I wrote the chords in anyways.)
C# F# C# F#
I vowed this wouldn't be, another lost summer.
C# F# C# F#
I've looked around, but I can't see, that old time summer.
C# F# C# F#
It's still hot, but I look at what I've got... and all I feel is number.
Guitar Fill (uses to come in after verse 1, and periodically throughout the rest of the song.)

Verse 2:
C# F# C# F#
I guess it's too late, to plant those seeds, another lost summer.
C# F# C# F#
It's not worth it to pull the weeds, are you ready drummer?
C# F#
They'll just die, like I'm doing inside.
Verse 3:
C# F# C# F#
My brother and I were the best of friends, that old time summer.
C# F# C# F#
More than just brothers but now I pretend, another lost summer.
C# F#
Is it a crutch, that I expect so much?
Verse 4:
C# F# B F#
I promised myself I'd be strong this year, oohhhh ooohhh.
C# F# B F#
But here I am again filed with summer tears, oohhhh ooohhh.
C# F# C# F#
And the fish ain't biting, and I'm through fighting the same situation, the same frustration,
C# F# C# F#
'Cause summer's almost gone, the love I planned to sing about never came along.
C# F# C# F#
And I can't figure out where I belong, but every year I sing the same old song,
C# F# C# F#
Where's that old time summer? Where's that old time summer?
C# F# C# F#
It's another lost summer. Another lost summer.
