Screen Door Summer (version 2)

Verse

Porch light humming, moths against the screen

Sixteen fireflies in a mason jar between

Your knee and mine on the top wooden step

Sweet tea sweating, both of us half-wrecked

You said something funny, I forgot to laugh

'Cause I was busy staring at the curve of your half smile

Pre-Chorus

And the crickets start their singing

Right on cue like they know

Something's shifting, something's bringing

Me closer than I've ever let it go

Chorus

It's a screen door summer, slamming shut behind us

Barefoot on the gravel, running out of time

Every star's a witness, every song reminds us

This is how it feels when falling feels this right

Screen door summer, and I'm falling

Falling for you

Verse

Your truck radio catches half a song

We drive the back roads even when they're wrong

You point out constellations, make up half the names

I let you have it, watch the porch lights fade

Gravel dust behind us like a slow-motion cloud

And I'm learning how your laughing sounds out loud

Pre-Chorus

And the crickets start their singing

Right on cue like they know

Something's shifting, something's bringing

Me closer than I've ever let it go

Chorus

It's a screen door summer, slamming shut behind us

Barefoot on the gravel, running out of time

Every star's a witness, every song reminds us

This is how it feels when falling feels this right

Screen door summer, and I'm falling

Falling for you

Bridge

Maybe I've been waiting on a porch my whole life

For headlights turning slow into that gravel drive

Maybe this is simple as a July night

Maybe I stop running, maybe I just fall

Chorus

It's a screen door summer, slamming shut behind us

Barefoot on the gravel, running out of time

Every star's a witness, every song reminds us

This is how it feels when falling feels this right

Screen door summer, and I'm falling

Falling for you

Falling for you
