You know the place Echo Park Lake Back, way back, we used to hang in '08 And I would watch as you watched as I played guitar Blowing smoke rings out the window of your car Wishing on a star Kissing on a mattress and wearing your jacket Sleeves falling past my hand Just a few beautiful kids with no plan And those were the reasons And that was LA We may have been stupid But we were never untrue And I just thought you were cool And as the summer turns to fall I won't even care that it all went wrong I'll recall drinking wine from your backpack And holding your hand in the back of a taxi And the question you asked me When summer fades and we go back to school But I just let the answer flow Kind of like the "O"s of smoke that you taught me to blow 'Cause it's you who taught me silence is sexy And it's you who said it's kind to be cruel Wherever you are, I hope that you knew That I just thought you were cool
