Lyrics

Saw you from across the dancefloor
Looking nowhere, but you want more
All alone in the crowd you ignore
Don’t know what to do (don’t know what to do)

Coming over just to say hello
Easy smiles everywhere you go
You say you’re new, but I already know
Now it’s you and me, now it’s you and me
Now it’s you and me, now it’s me and you

Each time I’m with you I just want the night to go on forever, forever
Lights all around us and the music never stops and we’ll never, we’ll never
Forget this time as years go by
Summer of 1813, we’ll never forget what it means

Dance with me just one final time
Then I have to go, you’ll be fine
Making friends, playing games, drinking wine
Don’t forget about us (don't forget about us)

See you back here, same time same place
Just you wait, there’s so many ways
We can go from here, don’t be late
Put your trust in me

Each time I’m with you I just want the night to go on forever, forever
Lights all around us and the music never stops and we’ll never, we’ll never
Forget this time as years go by
Summer of 1813, we’ll never forget what it means

Secrets I have some
Everyone has gone
Tell me what you've done
Memories are made
Now it's much too late
Wasting time until the summer's gone

Each time I’m with you I just want the night to go on forever, forever
Lights all around us and the music never stops and we’ll never, we’ll never
Forget this time as years go by
Summer of 1813, we’ll never forget what it means

Awesome! Love the riot grrl energy. Don't know the story, but from this it could be any time or place, apart from mentioning the year, that is...

Oooh frick yes, love that fuzz and that bouncy opening riff. IN LOVE with your punk rock melismas at the end of the verse lines. The doubled vocals on the chorus are so satisfying, and the charming contrast of the punky song with the "Summer of 1813" line is especially lovely!
