[Verse 1]
Stretched arms on the dewy grass
I feel the dirt in my hair and the dampness on my back
Thinking now I wish I would've stayed standing
Then I would've kept my favorite shirt

[Chorus]
But it was grass-stained that day
Grabbing drinks with some distant friends
Now to forget your name
Or what came of a summer throwing our time around
Like we had too many days and not enough to worry about
But I'm nineteen now
I'm not old but old enough to know
That time goes by fast
But as I kid I remember it being slow
Like the water in the creek near my house
Slowly passing by and polishing the rocks as it goes

[Verse 2]
Crammin' pocket money into tall vеnding machines
For cheap salty chips and sugar to rot my teeth
I remеmber those green streaks on my shirt
And the childish disregard for any mess
Throw my time at something and hope it works
Throw my time at something and hope it works
[Chorus]
I was grass-stained that day
Grabbing drinks with some distant friends
Now to forget your name
Or what came of a summer throwing our time around
Like we had too many days and not enough to worry about
But I'm nineteen now
I'm not old but old enough to know
That time goes by fast
But as I kid I remember it being slow
Like the water in the creek near my house
Slowly passing by and polishing the rocks as it goes
As it goes
As it goes
