Summer Skies

{bright acoustic guitar strumming,

building synthesizer sweep, four-on-the-floor kick filter opening}

The sun is falling,

painted gold across the sky,

Another day is fading,

but I’m feeling so alive.

Turn the music louder,

let the world just disappear,

‘Cause when we’re all together,

there’s nothing left to fear.

{dynamic build, crisp snare hits}

Running through the streets,

sneakers on the ground,

Laughing so hard that everybody turns around.

We don’t need a reason,

we don’t need a plan,

As long as we’re together,

we can do what no one else can.

{drum beat drops in full,

pumping groove} Hands up in the air,

let the worries drift away,

Forget about tomorrow, we’re just living for today.

Every little moment is a memory in disguise,

So let’s make this one count underneath these summer skies.

{rising snare roll, synth filter sweep}

Tonight, tonight,

we’re brighter than the moon,

Singing at the top of our lungs,

dancing out of tune.

Tonight, tonight, we’ll never let it end,

Making memories with the people we call friends.

(ooh-ooh) {huge explosive chorus,

driving synth brass, anthemic

drop} Hold on tight,

don’t let this feeling fade away,

We’ll remember every second of this day.

Tonight, tonight, we’ll shine until first light,

Nothing in the world can stop us tonight.

{driving rhythmic post-chorus pocket} Pictures on our phones,

but they could never really show,

How it feels to laugh this hard or let the whole world

go. Time keeps moving faster,

but we’re standing still somehow,

And all that really matters is this moment right now.

{dynamics

drop slightly, intimate clean bass and guitar groove}

When the night is over and the morning starts to rise,

Promise we’ll keep dreaming,

promise we’ll still try.

Even if we’re far apart,

no matter where we go,

These memories will stay with us and help our spirits grow.

(yeah, yeah) {halftime emotional build,

swelling strings and piano}

Tonight, tonight, we’re brighter than the moon,

Singing at the top of our lungs,

dancing out of tune.

Tonight, tonight, we’ll never let it end,

Making memories with the people we call friends.

{full power final chorus explosion,

confetti blast drums} Hold on tight,

don’t let this feeling fade,

We’ll remember every second of this day.

Tonight, tonight, we’ll shine until first light,

Nothing in the world can stop us tonight.

{gradual acoustic guitar fade-out,

sparkling echo trails}
