The Summer I Ran Out of Time (wersja 2)

Verse

Paperbacks yellow at the edges now

Summer water tower still glowing slow

I rode the firefly trail home from town

Thought every night would never know its end date

Twelve and I already had this list

Things to do before the whole world left

You said 'let's ride till the radio stops playing

Not knowing we'd need more time for staying

Pre-Chorus

So what if every window closes someday?

What if every hour burns away like it should have stayed?

I won't be sad, I'll just be older now

Learning how to make this feeling hold

This feeling that we never get enough of —

Someday is just a name for something rough

Chorus

So pour me one more summer, please

Fast as we can before it leaves

Every mile still glowing in my chest

I don't want the night to turn and go yet

We were young with our whole lives ahead

We were living every moment instead of said

One more sunset, let's make it slow —

Pour me one more summer, don't say no

Verse

Now the highway's lined with older names

Fences painted red, still burning bright from rain

I drove by that old water tower tonight

It glowed like a ghost light through the headlights

You moved on fast, I stayed a little longer

Wrote your name in pencil on a diner page

Told myself this summer would be the one

The year the world forgot to tell me when it's done

Pre-Chorus

So what if every window closes someday?

What if every hour burns away like it should have stayed?

I won't be sad, I'll just be older now

Learning how to make this feeling hold

This feeling that we never get enough of —

Someday is just a name for something rough

Chorus

So pour me one more summer, please

Fast as we can before it leaves

Every mile still glowing in my chest

I don't want the night to turn and go yet

We were young with our whole lives ahead

We were living every moment instead of said

One more sunset, let's make it slow —

Pour me one more summer, don't say no

Bridge

It wasn't supposed to end this way

I didn't sign up for a different day

Every year I've been running from what we knew

Like the whole world was just a borrowed view

So maybe someday when my own heart slows down

I'll be the one who learned to hold this town

Not chasing something brighter, not ignoring the glow —

I'm gonna learn to love this feeling slow

Chorus

So pour me one more summer, please

Fast as we can before it leaves

Every mile still glowing in my chest

I don't want the night to turn and go yet

We were young with our whole lives ahead

We were living every moment instead of said

One more sunset, let's make it slow —

Pour me one more summer, don't say no

Outro

Fast as we can before it leaves

Before the whole world left
