Polaroid Summer

Verse 1

I remember that July night
Streetlights humming over broken lines
You were leaning out the passenger side
Singing songs from another time

Your hair blowing through the window
Like the world was spinning fast
We were kids who thought forever
Was something we could grasp

⸻

Pre-Chorus

And I swear I saw the future
In the glow of your dashboard light
But the future’s just a stranger
When you’re seventeen at night

⸻

Chorus

Life goes like a rollercoaster
Up so high then down again
We were screaming through the summer
Like we’d never reach the end

Polaroid hearts in motion
Every moment burning bright
If I could I’d ride it over
Just to live that one more night

Polaroid, Polaroid hearts,
Polaroid, Polaroid summer
Of love

⸻

Verse 2

You said someday we’d be famous
Or at least escape this town
But dreams get quiet after midnight
When the real world comes around

Now the songs sound different somehow
And the road feels twice as long
But every time the radio plays
I swear you’re singing along

⸻

Pre-Chorus

And the years go like a highway
All the exits rushing past
You don’t know you’re in the moment
Till the moment’s in the past

⸻

Chorus

Life goes like a rollercoaster
Up so high then down again
We were screaming through the summer
Like we’d never reach the end

Polaroid hearts in motion
Every moment burning bright
If I could I’d ride it over
Just to live that one more night

Polaroid, Polaroid hearts,
Polaroid, Polaroid summer
Of love

⸻

Bridge

And maybe we were reckless
Maybe we were young
Maybe all the best days
Disappear when they’re done

But somewhere in the headlights
Of a memory I see
That version of forever
You believed in next to me

⸻

Final Chorus

Life goes like a rollercoaster
Turns you upside down sometimes
But the nights we felt immortal
Still echo through my mind

Polaroid hearts still beating
In the dark of every year
And I’d ride it all again
Just to have you here

Polaroid, Polaroid hearts,
Polaroid, Polaroid summer
Of love

Polaroid summer, Polaroid hearts,
Polaroid love, Polaroid summer
Of love, love, Polaroid summer!!!
