Verse
Parking lot's hot, asphalt shimmers
Radio bass through rolled-down windows
Nineteen and reckless, tank top sticking
Chalk dust rising where the bar keeps dropping
Sweat drips gold down my collarbone
Summer's calling, I won't sit alone
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it climbing higher
Every heartbeat lighting fire
Am I burning out or just beginning
This is the summer I keep on winning
Chorus
I'm wearing my burnout halo
Bright like the last light of July
Running on empty, glowing anyway
This is the crown that never dies
Sweat like a shower of gold on my shoulders
I'm wearing my burnout halo
Verse
Ice melts faster than my four-minute mile
Friends on the bleachers screaming my name
Every drop of sweat's a piece of the flame
Sunset bleeding orange, the night still burning
This is the season we swore we'd remember
Bottled up sunlight, saved for December
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it climbing higher
Every heartbeat lighting fire
Am I burning out or just beginning
This is the summer I keep on winning
Chorus
I'm wearing my burnout halo
Bright like the last light of July
Running on empty, glowing anyway
This is the crown that never dies
Sweat like a shower of gold on my shoulders
I'm wearing my burnout halo
Bridge
Maybe we crash when September comes
Maybe this fire burns down to none
But right now the sky's still holding gold
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn out loud
Chorus
I'm wearing my burnout halo
Bright like the last light of July
Running on empty, glowing anyway
This is the crown that never dies
Sweat like a shower of gold on my shoulders
I'm wearing my burnout halo
