Do you remember summer '09

Wanna go back there every night

Just can't lie it was the best time of my life

Lying on the beach as the sun blew out

Playing this guitar by the fire too loud

Oh my, my, they can never shut us down

 

I used to think that I was better alone

Why did I ever wanna let you go

Under the moonlight as we stared at the sea

The words you whispered I will always believe

 

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!

I want you to

Hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!

 

We were together summer '09

Wanna roll back like pressing rewind

You were mine and we never said goodbye

 

I used to think that I was better alone (better alone)

Why did I ever wanna let you go (let you go)

Under the moonlight as we stared at the sea (stared at the sea)

The words you whispered I will always believe

 

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!

I want you to

Hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!

 

R-O-C-K me again

R-O-C-K me again

R-O-C-K me again... yeah

I want you to

R-O-C-K me again

R-O-C-K me again

R-O-C-K me again... yeah

 

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!

I want you to

Hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!

 

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!

I want you to

Hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care

I want you to

Rock me, rock me, rock me... yeah!
