An empty road, nothing was traversing it. No one was on the beach either. The air was eerily silent as I drove past.

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach

I now passed the lake. No one seemed to be about, and then there it was, Dom's house, your house. The lights dark and foreign, I looked past them into what used to be your house.

Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home

In a flash of light, you appeared in the front yard. You were lying on a towel, wearing sunglasses, trying to sunbathe. I gasped and held my breath for a bit, mind flashing to Bumlets spinning on the fan. Back to reality, you were still there imprinted onto my mind.

But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I opened the door of my car, and ran towards you. Suddenly, in a gust of wind, I was transported to the beach. You were running, smiling, and having fun, while playing volleyball in the sand. Your hair almost flowed as you dove to hit the ball.

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how you made me scream

I sighed wistfully remembering the days spent watching Roundhouse and Newsies. We would squee every time you were on screen. Every time you smiled out of the TV, you were smiling at me.

Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I ran towards you on the beach, reaching my arm out. Just one touch was all I needed, but you were gone. I was alone once again. I fell to my knees and curled up into a ball.

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

When I looked up you appeared again, this time dancing in the studio. I was watching, silent, from the sidelines. You moved to a different beat, something else was there that made you different from all of the other boys.

Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."

Another flash of light, I was back in my car once again, driving along the road. A tear slipped down my cheek as I thought of you. A car drove past with a Newsies sticker on the back bumper. Visions of you flashed through my head, of you dancing and laughing.

I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-

I pulled the car over and pounded my fist on the wheel. How could I have loved you? I didn't even know you…but I felt like I had. You appeared in the front seat, smiling that smile to me once again.

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I placed my hand on yours and was transported to a field. You held me in your arms, and we laughed together for all…. Time.
