[Verse 1]
Alarm at nine
But the sun’s already loud outside
Flip-flop slap
On the concrete
Little stones that bite
Melting cone
Down my wrist
We’re laughing as we drive
Windows low
Every traffic light feels alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Got your playlist fighting the cicadas
Got your hair in my face
Lemonade buzz
Every crosswalk feels like a stadium
And we’re just kids again
[Chorus]
’Cause summer keeps me up
I don’t wanna close my eyes
Pink sky
Rooftop
You and I
Talking like we’ve got all time
Yeah
Summer keeps me up
Heart racing past midnight
Sweat on your neck in the streetlight line
If this is wrong
I don’t wanna get right
Summer keeps me
Keeps me up tonight
[Verse 2]
Cheap tattoos
Peeling on our shoulders in the heat
Sand in shoes
We track it through every bar and seat
Photo booth strip
You’re half-blink
I’m trying not to sneeze
Fold it once
Hide it like a letter in my jeans
[Pre-Chorus]
Every storefront window is a mirror
We’re a little too bright
A little too loud
We forget our worries at the crosswalk
Dancing on painted lines
[Chorus]
’Cause summer keeps me up
I don’t wanna close my eyes
Pink sky
Rooftop
You and I
Talking like we’ve got all time
Yeah
Summer keeps me up
Heart racing past midnight
Sweat on your neck in the streetlight line
If this is wrong
I don’t wanna get right
Summer keeps me
Keeps me up tonight
[Bridge]
Late bus missed
So we walk that extra mile (just stay)
Neon from the corner store
Painting freckles on your smile (so bright)
We make big plans
On a park bench that’s too warm
You say
“Don’t forget this”
I say
“How could I? It’s my favorite storm” (oh)
[Chorus]
’Cause summer keeps me up
I don’t wanna close my eyes
Pink sky
Rooftop
You and I
Talking like we’ve got all time
Yeah
Summer keeps me up
Heart racing past midnight
Sweat on your neck in the streetlight line
If this is wrong
I don’t wanna get right
Summer keeps me
Keeps me up tonight
[Outro]
Long days
Short nights
Your hand in mine
Stay till sunrise
Let the fall try to pull us apart
But I’ll still feel
Summer in my heart (oh yeah)
