Summer air is thinner now (versione 2)

Verse 1

Sixty miles per hour, windows down like it used to be

We chased the sunset and we never turned back till we saw the sea

Your hands were holding mine when I said goodbye

You asked me if I'd stay for the night

I said I couldn't stop, not for the whole wide world

But what you didn't ask was why

You just handed me a map with the place circled

And you said 'follow this till it gets too hard

Pre-Chorus

So is this really goodbye or are we playing a trick on ourselves?

Are we running, or are we learning to bend around it?

Do I follow your map or make my own from where I stand now?

Chorus

Summer air is thinner now

But it's still got a taste that I know

Same old highway, same old song

Only difference is the color of the sky at dawn

I could drive for hours and try to shake this feeling out

Or I could stay and watch the stars come back around

So I'm choosing the slowest pace that I've ever known

Summer air is thinner now

But it still calls my name

Verse 2

You said your grandma's recipe book was too heavy for a suitcase

That's when you started carrying pieces of it in a separate crate

You said you'd wait for me in that small town by the river

I'll be back before the leaves start to turn

This is what I told you, but what I didn't say

Was that sometimes it feels like we're running from the same old place

Pre-Chorus

So is this really goodbye or are we playing a trick on ourselves?

Are we running, or are we learning to bend around it?

Do I follow your map or make my own from where I stand now?

Chorus

Summer air is thinner now

But it's still got a taste that I know

Same old highway, same old song

Only difference is the color of the sky at dawn

I could drive for hours and try to shake this feeling out

Or I could stay and watch the stars come back around

So I'm choosing the slowest pace that I've ever known

Summer air is thinner now

But it still calls my name

Bridge

Maybe tonight you'll learn how to read between the lines

Maybe tomorrow night you'll find your own map in time

If you follow mine, I'll be one day behind

And when we catch up again, this whole wide road will spin around

Chorus

Summer air is thinner now

But it's still got a taste that I know

Same old highway, same old song

Only difference is the color of the sky at dawn

I could drive for hours and try to shake this feeling out

Or I could stay and watch the stars come back around

So I'm choosing the slowest pace that I've ever known

Summer air is thinner now

But it still calls my name
