Summer Never Learns (wersja 2)

Verse

Screen door hanging from one hinge

Radio station fading in and out

Your flip flops slapping gravel on the drive

Windows down like we could drown

We danced to a song I forgot by now

Spilled an ice cream cone right across your shoulder

Said the sun's still shining even if it isn't

We're already counting all our summers

Pre-Chorus

So what if the clock keeps moving on

What if every ending feels like home?

Chorus

Summer never learns how to let go

It just stretches long and never knows

Every goodbye is still a kind of gold

Some things stay soft even when they fold

Verse 2

Now you're driving north with the windows down

Sends me all these pictures from the middle mile

The same road we left behind last year

Same old gas station, same exact light

You said don't turn this into a story

Just keep the ending and let it hold me

I promise I won't cry like I did that night

This time I'll just save it for another gold

Pre-Chorus

So what if the clock keeps moving on

What if every ending feels like home?

Chorus

Summer never learns how to let go

It just stretches long and never knows

Every goodbye is still a kind of gold

Some things stay soft even when they fold

Bridge

Maybe it's not a loss, maybe it's a door

A door that only swings one way for now

You'll always be the shape that I needed

Even after you're gone — I swear — that much is true

Chorus

Summer never learns how to let go

It just stretches long and never knows

Every goodbye is still a kind of gold

Some things stay soft even when they fold
