Summer Without Maps

[Intro] Soft sun, late light on the edge of June A spark in the air we kept saying soon [Verse 1] White-hot afternoons, you laugh in the heat Bike rides, chalk on sidewalks, skipping a beat Every word like a firefly caught in my sleeve We whisper small truths, too brave to believe [Pre-Chorus] But hearts are a clock with a careless rhyme We knew the ending before the start of time [Chorus] Summer, stay just a little longer than we planned Hold my hand, don’t fade, let me understand We’re dancing on a line between now and forever If this is goodbye, let’s pretend we’ll forget the weather [Verse 2] Sunsets spill orange across your borrowed smile We chase the last meter of daylight for a while Flirting like a game we both know we will lose Yet every glance says stay, refuse to choose [Pre-Chorus] We count the freckles of the nights we won’t keep Hide the ache in the pocket where secrets sleep [Chorus] Summer, stay just a little longer than we planned Hold my hand, don’t fade, let me understand We’re dancing on a line between now and forever If this is goodbye, let’s pretend we’ll forget the weather [Bridge] In the rearview of the car, the world blurs into gold Moments burn bright, reckless, fearless, and bold [Chorus] Summer, stay just a little longer than we planned Hold my hand, don’t fade, let me understand We’re dancing on a line between now and forever If this is goodbye, let’s pretend we’ll forget the weather [Outro] Wind through the blinds, a whisper of your voice A postcard of you and me, no choice, just noise
