[Verse 1]
You were sun on my shoulders
Sand still stuck to our feet
Your hair
Wild on my pillow
Fan humming in the heat
Laughing over cheap red wine
Bare feet on the kitchen tile
You said
“Don’t forget this”
I still see that crooked smile
[Chorus]
Summer love
Stuck in my veins
Burning my skin like the August rain
You tasted like cherries in July
Sweet on my tongue
Then you said goodbye
I carry that fire in my chest
I tried to move on
But you’re still the best
Summer love
Stuck in my veins
Cherries in July
I still say your name
[Verse 2]
Driving through the sleeping town
Windows down
Our voices raw
You traced lines on my shoulder
Like you were writing in the dark
Your bracelet on my rearview
Still swinging when I brake
I talk to it in traffic
Like you’re here for my mistakes
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I heard you crossed an ocean
New streets
Different sky
But some nights I feel you turning
On that mattress by my side
[building up]
If you breathe my name in silence
Somewhere under foreign stars
Know I kept that summer hidden
Locked behind these faded scars
[Chorus]
