[INTRO — soft waves, distant synth pads]
[Spoken]
“Do you think we’ll ever feel like that again?”
[VERSE 1]
Cold wind where the heat once stayed
Empty streets and shorter days
All the nights we thought would last
Now just photographs from the past
I still see you in the glow
Of every place we used to go
Funny how goodbye can feel
Like something unreal
[PRE-CHORUS]
We were fire for a moment
Bright enough to light the dark
[slow drums enter]
[CHORUS — emotional, cinematic vocals]
When summer ends
Will you remember me?
Golden skies and restless hearts
Dancing through the memories
Even if time moves on
A part of us stays young
Somewhere inside those nights
Where we thought we were enough
[POST-CHORUS — airy harmonies]
Oh-oh
Summer never really stays
Oh-oh
But it never fades away
[VERSE 2]
Now the beaches feel so far
Like another world apart
Everybody changed somehow
But I still hear us now
Late nights turning into dawn
Every feeling moving on
Maybe that’s the price we pay
For beautiful mistakes
[PRE-CHORUS]
Nothing good was meant forever
Still I’d do it all again
[rising strings + synths]
[FINAL CHORUS — huge cinematic finish]
When summer ends
Will you remember me?
All the love and all the scars
Hidden in the memories
Even when the light is gone
The feeling still lives on
Somewhere inside those nights
Where we thought we could outrun time
When summer ends
When summer ends
[OUTRO — ocean waves fading]
[Spoken softly]
“Maybe that’s why summer matters…
Because it ends.”
