Colors We Kept

Verse

Popsicle sunset dripping down your wrist

Bikes on the gravel, dust like amethyst

Your radio's crackling on the tailgate seat

Sixteen and sunburnt, dancing barefoot on the street

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it rising

This gold we can't contain

Are we ever gonna

Feel this young again

Chorus

We're the colors we kept

From a summer like this

Blue skies, cherry lips

Painted on like it's gonna last forever

Green fields, sparklers lit

Every second a gift

We're the colors we kept

And we're keeping them forever

Verse

Corner store slushies melting in the heat

Jumping off the dock where the water's incomplete

Fireflies flickering like secrets in a jar

You wrote our names in chalk under a shooting star

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it rising

This gold we can't contain

Are we ever gonna

Feel this young again

Chorus

We're the colors we kept

From a summer like this

Blue skies, cherry lips

Painted on like it's gonna last forever

Green fields, sparklers lit

Every second a gift

We're the colors we kept

And we're keeping them forever

Bridge

Someday we'll be older

Windows down won't feel the same

But I'll still taste the peaches

And I'll still hear your name

So hold this hour closer

Let the film keep running slow

Cause the best of who we're gonna be

Is right here in the glow

Chorus

We're the colors we kept

From a summer like this

Blue skies, cherry lips

Painted on like it's gonna last forever

Green fields, sparklers lit

Every second a gift

We're the colors we kept

And we're keeping them forever
