Painted On (Version 2)

Verse

Your handprint faded on the kitchen window sill

Coffee rings and summers running out of time

Dancing in your flip flops to a song I never knew

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing through the floor

Every little thing we used to be for

Hold this tight before it's gone

Chorus

Painted on like summer never ends

Every laugh, every friend, every moment spent

I'm holding onto every color that stays

Long after August fades away

Verse

Saltwater hair and your old baseball jersey

Ice cream truck bell echoing down the street

We thought forever sounded just like this one night

Spinning stars out of empty bottles and light

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing through the floor

Every little thing we used to be for

Hold this tight before it's gone

Chorus

Painted on like summer never ends

Every laugh, every friend, every moment spent

I'm holding onto every color that stays

Long after August fades away

Bridge

Maybe time is just a name we give to leaving

But I want the ache to mean this was living

So let it leave its mark somewhere I can see it later

Even when the sun moves on, I'll still remember

Chorus

Painted on like summer never ends

Every laugh, every friend, every moment spent

I'm holding onto every color that stays

Long after August fades away
