Salt in the Speakers (version 2)

Verse

Screen door slams at quarter past five

Coffee cup and your old jacket on the line

Radio crackling static and gold

Your laugh comes back louder than the cold

Bike chain rattling down the drive

Same worn record still skips the same part of me

The porch light flickers out then back again

Nothing moves so slow that it don't feel like a start

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear how big it's gonna get

Static humming under everything we've been through

Are we ready or are we running late

Someday this is the summer that we make true

Chorus

Salt in the speakers, dust on the floor

We're still standing where we were before

Slow like a wave breaking into blue

This is the summer I'm gonna remember you

Verse 2

Firefly light blinking out behind your car

Same old song stuck on repeat, but this time it's far

Further than I ever thought I'd be

Further than my name even knows how to be

Old swimming hole and a map turned thin

Waterline still warm from where we've been

Radio skips the part that makes us cry

Just static now, just sky and open highway

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear how big it's gonna get

Static humming under everything we've been through

Are we ready or are we running late

Someday this is the summer that we make true

Chorus

Salt in the speakers, dust on the floor

We're still standing where we were before

Slow like a wave breaking into blue

This is the summer I'm gonna remember you

Bridge

Maybe it's okay if this one goes soft

If the ending feels like home

Cause every ending's just another door

And the static sounds like more

Chorus

Salt in the speakers, dust on the floor

We're still standing where we were before

Slow like a wave breaking into blue

This is the summer I'm gonna remember you
