They  love you or they  hate you
But  they will never let  you be
They  thrill you or sedate  you
But  they will never let  you see
In the evening sun
In the evening sun
Encourage  and deranged  you
Watch  you walking scared  alone
Despite  intimidation
Pleased  to watch you dance  along
In the evening sun
In the evening sun
Go  your separate way  now
 Someday  you'll come back  and I'll be dreaming  I was sunburned
I  don't want to break  your heart in
 Break  your heart in two  halves
 Keep  one half and give  one half to me
I  like the summer  - miss the summer
Tell  me, what'd you do?  Nothing? Me too...
All  actors they're pretending
And  singers they sometimes  lie
Oh  kids are always  honest
Cause  they don't think they're ever  gonna die
You're  the prettiest smartest captain  of the team
I  love you more than being  seventeen
In the evening sun
In the evening sun
