Lyrics
[Soft Felt Rhodes Intro]
we burned the year down to a glow
bare feet slapped the warm blacktop.
[Verse 1]
ice melts down a sticky hand, I remember.
salt dried white on your shoulders, still and tender.
a tennis ball, a radio, a dare, a quiet ember.
the lake held the sky like a gift, now or never.
[Pre-Chorus]
a bonfire carved our silhouettes, pulling me under.
we chased the tide and lost the time, I'm not done, I'm not done.
[Chorus]
let this summer never cool.
the pier lights up at half past eight, holding the sound.
the fan spun slow through July, spinning me round.
let this summer never cool.
[Verse 2]
bare feet slapped the warm blacktop, different weather.
salt dried white on your shoulders, we're still together.
the lake held the sky like a gift
light as a feather.
we chased the tide and lost the time, now or never.
[Chorus]
let this summer never cool.
the pier lights up at half past eight, holding the sound.
the fan spun slow through July, spinning me round.
let this summer never cool.
[Bridge]
Oh, ice melts down a sticky hand, let it mend, let it mend.
a tennis ball, a radio, a dare, now I'm safe, now I'm safe.
a bonfire carved our silhouettes — I am whole, I am whole.
[Chorus]
let this summer never cool.
the pier lights up at half past eight, holding the sound.
the fan spun slow through July, spinning me round.
let this summer never cool.
[Outro]
we burned the year down to a glow...
let this summer never cool.
[Fade Out]
