☀️ Last Summer's Sun, This Semester's Rain 🌧️
(Verse 1)
High school graduation confetti still in my hair
Felt like the whole wide world was suddenly there
We had that little gap, that pocket of time
Before real life started, before the big climb
Met you at the lake, just a couple of friends' friends
Talking about dreams and how the summer never ends
Didn't know your call was coming, didn't know your path
Didn't know that feeling would turn into aftermath.
Oh, Luke, you were sun-kissed, nineteen, and so sweet
The way you looked at me made my heart skip a beat.
(Chorus)
'Cause last summer's sun, it burned so bright, then disappeared
Right when I thought the coast was clear, the future engineered
You left on a mission, a promise you had to keep
And I packed up my feelings and buried them deep.
Now I'm here in this dorm, four hundred miles away
It's a September drizzle, a whole different day.
Just got a text from Zack, a punch right to the gut
"I just see you as a sister," friend-zoned, end of story, but
Why is that old feeling suddenly on the line?
Why is Luke the only guy that's running through my mind?
(Verse 2)
Zack was fine, you know? Good study habits, smart
Tried to convince myself he could mend my broken heart
We went to the student union, studied 'til late
I told myself, "Girl, this is it, this is fate!"
He'd laugh at my jokes, he'd walk me to class
I thought I could forget the summer, let the memory pass.
Then that text came tonight, blunt and kinda cold
The classic college story, a tale often told.
Should be heartbroken, should be drowning in blues
But all I can think about is your worn-out tennis shoes.
(Chorus)
'Cause last summer's sun, it burned so bright, then disappeared
Right when I thought the coast was clear, the future engineered
You left on a mission, a promise you had to keep
And I packed up my feelings and buried them deep.
Now I'm here in this dorm, four hundred miles away
It's a September drizzle, a whole different day.
Just got a text from Zack, a punch right to the gut
"I just see you as a sister," friend-zoned, end of story, but
Why is that old feeling suddenly on the line?
Why is Luke the only guy that's running through my mind?
(Bridge)
Two years is a long time to wait, I know that's true
A blurry postcard memory, a promise just from you
But maybe this rejection, this sudden empty space
Is just the universe putting you back in your place.
Back on the pedestal, back in my head
The words we never spoke, the things we never said.
Zack's just a placeholder, a chapter I can close
When the only book I wanna read is the one nobody knows.
(Chorus)
'Cause last summer's sun, it burned so bright, then disappeared
Right when I thought the coast was clear, the future engineered
You left on a mission, a promise you had to keep
And I packed up my feelings and buried them deep.
Now I'm here in this dorm, four hundred miles away
It's a September drizzle, a whole different day.
