I Didn't Know How Wrong I Was

I thought once the countdown ended I'd be happy forever
The feeling of ending the school year, beginning summer camp
Is enough to trick your mind

I thought time would stop for me or something like that
That summer camp would never end
I could freeze in on the cycle just to have fun

I never thought that the end would come
Never thought it could hit me so hard
That once the countdown reaches zero, it quickly turns to more than it has ever been before
What was I thinking?
