Still running on that summer light (versie 2)

Verse 1

You used to keep the porch light on till two.

Four summers gone and it's still shining through.

We danced beneath it in our bare feet, wild.

Now you're on the phone with your own kind of girl.

She's got a laugh that cuts like a river wide.

I try not to hear it when I drive by.

The screen door creaks slow as the rest give in.

Still running on that summer light we won't give in.

Pre-Chorus

But tell me, tell me if you remember too—

Chorus

We're still running on that summer light.

Two open windows and it cuts through.

Grab it and hold it, don't let it go.

Still running on that summer glow.

Verse 2

You used to read me Wuthering Heights at midnight.

Now your room's empty like the quiet of a lake.

I hear you laugh in the kitchen like it's still night.

My hand keeps reaching for the lock I never take.

Your shadow moves across the wall and I turn pale—

Pre-Chorus

But tell me, tell me if you remember too—

Chorus

We're still running on that summer light.

Two open windows and it cuts through.

Grab it and hold it, don't let it go.

Still running on that summer glow.

Bridge

Maybe I've been holding onto something I shouldn't keep.

Maybe the only thing that's really yours is this one deep breath—

Pre-Chorus

But tell me, tell me if you remember too—

Chorus

We're still running on that summer light.

Two open windows and it cuts through.

Grab it and hold it, don't let it go.

Still running on that summer glow.
