Fleeting Embers of Summer 2

Verse

Neon sign hums pink on the wet concrete

Salt on your collarbone, lime on your teeth

Wristband cutting soft where the night got wild

Cicadas counting down every mile

Pre-Chorus

How many nights like this one

Before the tide pulls it away

Do we hold on tighter

Or let it melt into gray

Chorus

We're fleeting embers, burning out the summer night

Skin against skin till the sky turns white

One more hour before this fades to smoke

We're fleeting embers, don't let go

Verse

Ferry ticket folded in your back pocket

Sand still living in the seams of my shirt

Clock on the wall keeps clicking to seven

Your hips slow down like you're reading my thoughts

Pre-Chorus

How many nights like this one

Before the tide pulls it away

Do we hold on tighter

Or let it melt into gray

Chorus

We're fleeting embers, burning out the summer night

Skin against skin till the sky turns white

One more hour before this fades to smoke

We're fleeting embers, don't let go

Bridge

Maybe the ending's the reason it's sweet

Maybe I want it to burn at my feet

Let the whole summer collapse into now

Every slow song, every last bow

Chorus

We're fleeting embers, burning out the summer night

Skin against skin till the sky turns white

One more hour before this fades to smoke

We're fleeting embers, don't let go
