[Verse 1]
Heat on the pavement, blue above the town
Towel by the doorway, sandals kicked around
You bring the striped one, I bring the yellow suit
We race toward the water with nothing left to prove
[Pre-Chorus]
Salt on our shoulders, laughter in the air
You turn and grin at me like summer starts right there
[Chorus]
Color on the water, color in our eyes
Running through the shallows underneath a painted sky
Hot heart, happy pulse, every little spark feels new
Summer keeps on shining when I’m swimming next to you
[Verse 2]
Fruit juice in a cooler, peaches in the shade
Bright towels on the railing, plans we never made
Your red shirt drying on the old pool fence
We stay until the afternoon has spent itself
[Pre-Chorus]
Warm wind on our faces, sunlight on the blue
Every ordinary day turns vivid next to you
[Chorus]
Color on the water, color in our eyes
Running through the shallows underneath a painted sky
Hot heart, happy pulse, every little spark feels new
Summer keeps on shining when I’m swimming next to you
[Bridge]
When the evening settles softly on the shore
I’ll remember how your hand reached out for more
One last dive, one bright goodbye
Then we’ll do it all again beneath tomorrow’s sky
[Final Chorus]
Color on the water, color in our eyes
Running through the shallows underneath a painted sky
Hot heart, happy pulse, every little spark feels new
Summer keeps on shining when I’m swimming next to you
[Outro]
Swimming next to you
All the colors coming through
