Bare Feet in the Driveway (version 2)

Verse

Pavement still warming where the sun used to be

Sweat on the sidewalk, dust on my knees

Your hand finds mine like it's always been here

You're wearing a smile that doesn't fade in the dark at all

We kick off our shoes, let our feet find the heat

The streetlights hum a low and lazy beat

We used to run this block till we'd catch a chill

But now it's just us, standing still

Pre-Chorus

Summer's burning out its spark

Leaving embers where the light used to park

Can you feel it too?

Is it over yet?

Or is this just what happens when the sun gives in?

Chorus

Bare feet in the driveway, we're not letting go

This is our last chance, let the warmth take control

Bare feet on the pavement where the summer ends

We'll hold onto the heat till it finally sends us home

Verse 2

Your toes tap out a rhythm that I used to know

I've been waiting all year for this one long moment slow

Every window in the street is lit up bright and wide

But none of them glow like you do tonight

You take my hand again, your palm against mine

We watch the sky turn darker, a color we can't define

The stars come out blinking like a thousand tiny eyes

But neither one of us needs to ask if this will ever end or die

Pre-Chorus

Summer's burning out its spark

Leaving embers where the light used to park

Can you feel it too?

Is it over yet?

Or is this just what happens when the sun gives in?

Chorus

Bare feet in the driveway, we're not letting go

This is our last chance, let the warmth take control

Bare feet on the pavement where the summer ends

We'll hold onto the heat till it finally sends us home

Bridge

Maybe this isn't goodbye at all

Maybe this is just a different kind of start

A slow-burn love that doesn't care about the weather

Just us two, standing here in the driveway, bare and free

Chorus

Bare feet in the driveway, we're not letting go

This is our last chance, let the warmth take control

Bare feet on the pavement where the summer ends

We'll hold onto the heat till it finally sends us home

Outro

Your hand still warm against mine

The streetlights humming down by nine

Let's keep this feeling right here for just a little longer

Summer, I don't want you to go.
