Verse 1
You had a habit of arriving late
Like the moon was waiting on your cue
White T-shirt, cigarette,
Laughing like you never followed rules
We were parked behind the baseball field
Windows down, radio too loud
You were drawing constellations
On my arm with a ballpoint pen somehow
And I knew
You’d be trouble in the prettiest way
Like a storm that smiles before it rains
Pre-Chorus
Everybody said we’d fade away
Like names carved into motel paint
But you looked at me and said
Chorus
Take a picture, make it blurry
Let the edges disappear
I don’t wanna be a memory
Trying hard to stay clear
We were gold in the parking lot
Dancing while the speakers cracked
Now every song sounds different
Trying to bring that summer back
You and me
Like a Polaroid summer
Never meant to last forever
Still I keep the colors
Verse 2
You moved west with a borrowed dream
And a dashboard full of gas station maps
I stayed home and learned
How silence fills the spaces that you left
Every now and then I see your face
In strangers passing on the street
Funny how a city can be crowded
And still feel incomplete
Pre-Chorus
Everybody said we’d both move on
And maybe they’re not wrong
But some stories keep singing
Chorus
Take a picture, make it blurry
Let the edges disappear
I don’t wanna be a memory
Trying hard to stay clear
We were gold in the parking lot
Dancing while the speakers cracked
Now every song sounds different
Trying to bring that summer back
You and me
Like a Polaroid summer
Never meant to last forever
Still I keep the colors
Bridge
And if I saw you tomorrow
Would we laugh about the scars?
Would we talk until sunrise
Like we never fell apart?
Or would you be another photograph
I carry in my head?
A thousand little versions
Of all the things we never said
Final Chorus
Take a picture, make it blurry
Let the edges disappear
Funny how the moments leave
But somehow stay right here
We were gold in the parking lot
Dancing while the speakers cracked
Time keeps pulling forward
But my heart keeps looking back
You and me
Like a Polaroid summer
Faded but not gone
Just living in the colors
Weber
