The summer we met

Everything felt easy back then,

We were something more than friends.

Late nights too deep for seventeen,

Dreaming loud, living between.

You said, “Promise we won’t change,”

But nothing ever stays the same.

We used to talk till 2 A.M.

’Bout chasing dreams and how they’d end.

You said, “Maybe, maybe someday,”

But that day never found its way.

I crumble up completely when you cry,

Even when you smile, I can’t lie.

Those late-night drives and the summer we stole,

Still haunt my chest, still haunt my soul.

You look happy — I should let it slide,

But your laugh still enjoys in my mind.

You were sleeping on my shoulder,

City lights bleeding through the blinds.

We were talking ’bout nothing,

But it felt like a lifetime.

Maybe timing’s just a thief,

Stealing what we’ll never see.

You’re half asleep in the passenger seat,

Streetlights cutting across your cheek.

I’ve got words I’ll never speak,

You’ve got scars I’ll never see.

But I crumble up completely when you cry,

Even when you smile, I can’t lie.

Those date night drives and the summer we stole,

Still haunt my chest, still haunt my soul.

You look happy — I should let it slide,

But your laugh still echoes in my mind.

You post your life in city nights,

I scroll too long, pretend it’s fine.

You look happy, I look through —

Both pretending we know the truth.

Maybe we were just too young,

Maybe timing wasn’t on our side.

But I remember every streetlight,

Still knows our names tonight.

I’m going back to the summer we met,

Late-night drives I won’t forget.

Your laugh still echoes through every street,

Every heartbreak, every beat.

You look happy — I should let it slide,

But part of me’s still stuck in that time.

In the summer we met oh oh

In the summer we met oh oh

In the summer we met oh oh
