Lyrics

Blink on the stereo, "Feeling This" plays Watching The OC, dreaming of LA Frosted tips and distressed jeans Counting the days until we were 18

No worries, no bills, our imagination was enough If Good Charlotte did it, then maybe we could

It was the summer of '03 No pressure yet to crush our dreams I'm gonna get myself on MTV I can be a star, just you watch me It was the summer of '03 I'm gonna be anything I wanna be We'll never feel so carefree Than in the summer of '03

Tony Hawk's tricks in my best friend's drive Singing "Seven Nation Army" like we own the night Texting on my Nokia T9, so slow Burning mixed CDs, don't wanna let go

Fires in the woods, stereo loud We're the only sound in this sleepy town Looking up at the stars, a moment to breathe We had it all in the summer of '03

It was the summer of '03 No limits yet to chase our dreams Nothing felt better than '03 We had it all in the summer of '03

About this song

A fast, cinematic memory of MTV dreams, Tony Hawk afternoons, Nokia texting, and the suburban freedom of a summer that felt endless.

This is Wave 2 at its most pop-punk aspirational: Blink on the stereo, The OC in the background, mixed CDs in the car, and the stubborn teenage certainty that anything still feels possible.
