Strings of Summer Past
We wore our summers out
on borrowed streets
Skinned-up knees and jackets in the heat
Your old front porch still lives inside my brain
We swore those nights would never change
Now every photograph hits harder than it should I hear your name
and I'm back where we stood One deep breath and the whole
room moves
Take me back to the nights we meant it
Windows down and our hearts all in it
If I run where the streetlights caught
us
Will I find that fire still inside us Take me back,
take me back
again
Your voicemail stays like a mark in my phone
A little time machine when I'm alone
The corner diner flickers through the dark
But nothing in this town can miss your spark
We were young enough to call it forever Bold enough to bet
on every day I still carry every word you gave me
Take me back to the nights we meant it
Windows down and our hearts all in it
If I run where the streetlights caught us
Will I find that fire still inside us Take me back,
take me back again
Oh oh, we were alive
Oh oh, for a little while
