Verse
Gravel road, bare feet on the hood of your car
Radio static, we don't care where we are
Melting popsicle drips down onto my wrist
Nineteen summers and a July like this
Pre-Chorus
So if this is all we get
Just one gold and honest sec
Then don't hold it back tonight
Chorus
Say it like you mean it, under skies gone amber
Say it like you mean it, hearts too loud to temper
We're young and the light won't stay
So say it like you mean it, say it like you mean it today
Verse
Sunburned shoulders, lake water up to our knees
You're skipping stones while the crickets start their symphonies
Fireflies blinking like they're keeping our time
Nothing's forever but tonight might be mine
Pre-Chorus
So if this is all we get
Just one gold and honest sec
Then don't hold it back tonight
Chorus
Say it like you mean it, under skies gone amber
Say it like you mean it, hearts too loud to temper
We're young and the light won't stay
So say it like you mean it, say it like you mean it today
Bridge
Come September, we'll be scattered like the leaves
But right now you're looking straight at me
No more guessing, no more games we used to play
Just the truth out loud before it fades away
I'm not scared to say it first
Let the whole world hear it burst
Chorus
Say it like you mean it, under skies gone amber
Say it like you mean it, hearts too loud to temper
We're young and the light won't stay
So say it like you mean it, say it like you mean it today
