Met you in June

We met in June on a late-night snap,

Your name lit up and I still think back.

Started talking ‘til the sun came up,

By July I swore it was love.

First date under neon lights,

County fair on a summer night.

Ferris wheel, your hand in mine,

Felt like the world was only ours in time.

Lilly, I met you in June,

Lost you in July.

We burned too fast, like fireworks in the sky.

Now every song I sing, every drink I buy,

Takes me back to you, and I don’t know why.

Met you in June…

But July said goodbye.

Backseat talks, radio low,

We found places only we would know.

Did everything but we wanted more,

Now I’m staring at an empty door.

Those nights still haunt me clear,

Your perfume lingers, I feel you near.

It’s hard to move on when I close my eyes,

‘Cause I’m stuck replaying that July night.

Lilly, I met you in June,

Lost you in July.

We burned too fast, like fireworks in the sky.

Now every song I sing, every drink I buy,

Takes me back to you, and I don’t know why.

Met you in June…

But July said goodbye.

Maybe some loves ain’t meant to stay,

They shine too bright and fade away.

But if I could go back, I’d press rewind,

To June with you, when you were mine.

Lilly, I met you in June,

Lost you in July.

We burned too fast, like fireworks in the sky.

Now every song I sing, every drink I buy,

Takes me back to you, and I don’t know why.

Met you in June…

But July said goodbye.

Met you in June…

And I still ask why.
