like an old abandoned ferris wheel
time for me is standin' still
and it's you and me in mid-July
underneath the midway lights

and all our friends are standin' there
so i was actin' like i didn't care
when you put your arms around my neck
and i barely even kissed you back

but if i'd have known it was the last time
i'd have held on a little longer
and let that moment linger
and never let your fingers slip away
from mine
if i'd known there'd never be another day
i'd have watched you as you walked away
and kept you in my eyes
till you were out of sight if i
if i'd have known it was the last time

now the midway lights have all shut down
and grass has grown up all around
and it's an empty field across the tracks
but i can't keep from comin' back

it was just another summer night
a carousel, a roller coaster ride
and that silly fight that we got in
didn't see so important then

Repeat Chorus

and i i'd have know then what i know now
i'd never let you disappear into the crowd
or turn away the way i did
with so much left unsaid if i
if i'd have known it was the last time
