Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bare feet in the sprinkler spray
Grass stains on our knees all day
Laughin’ ‘til our sides gave out
Chasin’ clouds and runnin’ mouths
[Chorus]
We were drying off in the sun
Little hearts beatin’ like they’d just begun
Didn’t know those days would run
Didn’t know they’d up and run
I blinked once, and they were gone
Like water off our backs, we carried on
Oh, time just runs and runs
Drying off in the sun
[Verse 2]
You were leanin’ on that old front gate
Dad was smilin’, sayin’ “Don’t be late”
Now that gate just swings and sighs
And his truck just gathers sky
[Chorus]
We were drying off in the sun
Little hearts beatin’ like they’d just begun
Didn’t know those days would run
Didn’t know they’d up and run
I blinked once, and they were gone
Like water off our backs, we carried on
Oh, time just runs and runs
Drying off in the sun
[Bridge]
If I could fold this road in two
Walk it back and sit with you (oh, Dad)
Tell you ‘bout the man I’ve become
How I still feel like that kid
Drying off in the sun
[Chorus]
Still drying off in the sun
Grown-up heart, same fragile one
I miss your laugh when day is done
Miss every “boy, you did me proud, my son”
I blink once, and years are gone
But in my mind you’re hummin’ along
Oh, time just runs and runs
We’re drying off in the sun
[Outro]
Yeah, time just runs and runs
But I see you
In the sun

country, Warm smooth country ballad with male vocals, brushed kit and gentle acoustic picking. Easygoing verses that sit low and intimate; chorus widens with lap steel swells, soft organ pad and stacked harmonies. Subtle bass underpins a laid-back pocket; final chorus adds a key change lift, then strips back to voice and guitar for the last line., smooth
