(Verse 1)
Hot air hanging heavy on a summer night
Talking ‘til sunrise under porch light
You traced your dreams, I traced mine too
Didn’t feel like strangers, felt like something true
We were old songs playing on your phone
Laughing like we’d never go back home
Didn’t think about the ticking clock
Just let the world outside us stop
(Pre-Chorus)
We said “we’ll figure it out somehow”
Didn’t know what that meant back then, not now
(Chorus)
It was late talks, warm nights
Everything feeling so right
Two hearts, one time
Didn’t see the warning signs
Now it’s long calls, long fights
Different days and sleepless nights
Oceans wide, crossed the line
Love got lost in time zones
Yeah, we had that summer, we tried to pretend
But some things burn out before they can bend
We held on too tight ‘til it all fell apart
Guess we had to end it before it broke our hearts
(Verse 2)
Back home but the nights felt off
Missing you in the quiet thoughts
Time zones turned us upside down
You were waking up, I was breaking down
Jealous words we couldn’t take back
Reading into things we thought we lacked
Every call felt like a test
Love turning into second guesses
(Pre-Chorus)
We tried to fix what we couldn’t save
Some things don’t make it past the waves
(Chorus)
It was late talks, warm nights
Everything feeling so right
Two hearts, one time
Didn’t see the warning signs
Now it’s long calls, long fights
Different days and sleepless nights
Oceans wide, crossed the line
Love got lost in time zones
Yeah, we had that summer, we tried to pretend
But some things burn out before they can bend
We held on too tight ‘til it all fell apart
Guess we had to end it before it broke our hearts
(Bridge)
Maybe if we stayed where the air felt the same
We wouldn’t have changed, wouldn’t play these games
But distance don’t care what you wanna be
And love ain’t enough when it can’t breathe
(Breakdown)
Late talks, warm nights
Now it’s just us in hindsight
Same love, wrong time
Couldn’t make it survive
(Outro)
Yeah, I’ll always remember how it began
But not every story gets a second chance
We were something real, just not meant to last
Just a summer living in the past
