“Summer Faded Away”
Verse 1
It started at a day camp in the heat of July,
Lucas saw Olivia and caught her eye.
Just two kids trying to make it through the day,
Never knowing their lives would change that way.
When camp was over and they both went home,
They’d grab their phones and talk alone.
Ten o’clock turned into half past two,
Most nights they’d stay up till twelve and talk it through.
Pre-Chorus
Every laugh felt easy then,
Like they’d always be best friends.
Chorus
We were young beneath the summer sky,
Talking till midnight almost every night.
Sharing secrets, sharing dreams,
Nothing was as hard as it seemed.
But the days grew cold and the distance grew,
And somehow we became somebody new.
Lucas watched those moments slip away,
As summer slowly faded gray.
Verse 2
The messages came a little less each day,
The conversations started fading away.
Lucas wondered what had changed inside,
Why Olivia suddenly seemed to hide.
What he didn’t know was she’d been fighting pain,
Carrying sadness she could barely explain.
For months she’d been depressed and worn,
Trying to smile while feeling torn.
Pre-Chorus
And every “I’m okay” she’d say,
Only pushed the truth away.
Chorus
We were young beneath the summer sky,
Talking till midnight almost every night.
Sharing secrets, sharing dreams,
Nothing was as hard as it seemed.
But the days grew cold and the distance grew,
And somehow we became somebody new.
Lucas watched those moments slip away,
As summer slowly faded gray. Bridge
Then Lucas heard about a boy named Logan,
Pieces of the truth left unspoken.
He sat alone with questions in his head,
Replaying every word she’d ever said.
The distance hurt more than he could explain,
And some nights he felt buried by the pain.
Dark thoughts whispered when he felt alone,
Telling him nobody would notice if he was gone.
But he reached for friends instead of the dark,
Held on to every small and fading spark.
One more night became one more day,
And slowly he found a different way.
Meanwhile Olivia was fighting too,
Trying to survive what she’d been going through.
Two hearts carrying battles out of sight,
Just trying to make it through the night. Final Chorus
We were young beneath the summer sky,
Talking till midnight almost every night.
Now those conversations feel far away,
Like photographs beginning to fade.
Lucas still remembers every word she’d say,
Every joke and every summer day.
And though they drifted with the passing years,
Those midnight talks still echo in his ears.
Outro
Day camp ended, summer passed,
Some memories are built to last.
And even when people grow apart,
They leave a mark upon your heart.
