2 AM, dashboard glowing red
Your perfume still stuck in my head
We were screaming Sing the Sorrow at the top of our lungs
Sidewalk cracks, chipped black nail polish, kingdom come
You swore forever on a pack of Camel Lights
Now forever’s just taillights
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m parked outside your house again
Like a fucking loser, like I never learn
Watching your silhouette kiss someone else through the blinds
And it’s killing me, but God, it burns so good
(Chorus)
We’re going down, down in a blaze of July
Sugar, light the match, let’s burn out bright
I’m jealous of his hands where mine used to fit
Coming out of my cage and I’m fucking sick of it
Drop a heart, break a name
We’re sixteen forever in the pouring rain
Take me back to the pier, take me back to the fight
Before we set the whole damn summer on fire tonight
(Verse 2)
Your new boy wears his hat like he invented cool
He’ll never know you stole that hoodie from Hot Topic in ’04
He’ll never see the Sharpie stars we drew on the roof
Or how you cried when Brand New played Seventy Times 7
I still mouth the words every time
(Pre-Chorus)
I’ve got a god complex in a beat-up Honda
Cock it and pull it—this ache is a loaded gun
Tell me you miss me, lie if you have to
Just say something before I come undone
(Chorus)
We’re going down, down in a blaze of July
Sugar, light the match, let’s burn out bright
I’m jealous of his hands where mine used to fit
Coming out of my cage and I’m fucking sick of it
Drop a heart, break a name
We’re sixteen forever in the pouring rain
Take me back to the pier, take me back to the fight
Before we set the whole damn summer on fire tonight
(Bridge)
And if this is growing up
Then shoot me in the chest
I’d rather die in your passenger seat
Than live with all this “best”
One more “I still love you” text at 3 AM
I swear I’ll delete it…
I never do
(Final Chorus – screamed)
We’re going DOWN, DOWN, say it like you mean it
Sugar, we’re the anthem for kids who never leave it
I’m not over you, I’m just over breathing
While you’re out there with him barely even bleeding
Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I’m the scar on your lip you’ll never forget
So take me back to the pier, take me back to the lie
We were never okay—but God, we were alive
(Outro – half-whispered over fading guitar)
…It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
How did it end up like this?
