Last summer

Last summer on my screen Your

name lighting up at 3:15 Laughing

in the grocery line

Hands sticky from melted ice cream

You drew hearts on my receipt

Said, "Keep this,

it's our hidden key" I pressed

it in my diary Thought you'd

always stay with me How can

a warm night turn this cold?

You said forever,

then let go

Last summer feels like someone else's

dream I'm dancing in the ruins

of that scene

Joy in the morning,

despair by the evening light

I still taste your cherry soda

goodbye Last summer,

last summer You're the scar beneath

my tan lines

We kissed under broken fans Cheap

motel, two plastic bands You promised

you would write me songs And

left me on "typing" all month

long My friends say to delete

Every little ghost in my feed

But every silly photograph Still pulls

me back to when we laughed

How can a soft hand let

mine fall?

You said, "I got you," then

missed my call

Last summer feels like someone else's

dream I'm dancing in the ruins

of that scene

Joy in the morning,

despair by the evening light

I still taste your cherry soda

goodbye Last summer,

last summer You're the scar beneath

my tan lines

I replay us frame by frame

Sunburned shoulders calling my name I

press rewind, but it won't stay

You fade to white,

then slip away

Last summer feels like someone else's

dream I'm dancing in the ruins

of that scene

Joy in the morning,

despair by the evening light

I still taste your cherry soda

goodbye Last summer,

last summer I loved you like

a first and final time

Last summer, last summer You're the

scar beneath my tan lines
