For a Little While - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Hot sun, dancin' on the river

We're sittin' on the bank, watch the world go by

Our feet in the water, she pressed her lips to mine

We were so long on love, but short on time

She could be a honeymoon sweet and a little wild

But she was mine, oh, for a little while

And I laugh every time I start to think about us

We sent that summer out in style

And she's gone but she let me with a smile

'Cause she was mine for a little while

We'd take a ride and head on down to Airport Road

Put the seats back and watch the planes leave town

She always said nobody's strong enough to tie her down

Oh, but I wasn't lookin' for that, anyhow

I knew she'd leave, but I didn't know when

It matters to me now, oh, but it didn't back then

And I laugh every time I start to think about us

We sent that summer out in style

And she's gone but she let me with a smile

'Cause she was mine for a little while

I keep seein' pictures now

Of me and her and those summer nights

My mind fills with her

Oh, but it's alright

'Cause I laugh every time I start to think about us

We sent that summer out in style

And she's gone but she let me with a smile

'Cause she was mine

Yeah, she was mine

Oh, for a little while

Yeah
