Say It Like You Mean It

Verse

Gravel road, the heat still humming

Cherry ice melts down your wrist

Radio caught between two stations

Static kissed by amethyst

Nineteen summers, borrowed bicycle

Spokes are spinning gold and thin

You said forever like it's easy

I want to know you mean it when

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now before the fireflies

Before the porch light dims

Is this the one that we remember

Or the one that just begins

Chorus

Say it like you mean it

Under skies still burning slow

Say it like you mean it

Before we let the summer go

Every word's a spark we're keeping

Every silence lets it show

So say it like you mean it

Say it like you mean it, and I'll know

Verse

Dock boards warm beneath our shoulders

Water holding up the moon

Your laugh cuts through like a sparkler

Gone too fast, gone way too soon

We've got sunburn on our promises

Salt and honey on our skin

You keep saying that you'll stay here

I want to know you mean it when

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now before the fireflies

Before the porch light dims

Is this the one that we remember

Or the one that just begins

Chorus

Say it like you mean it

Under skies still burning slow

Say it like you mean it

Before we let the summer go

Every word's a spark we're keeping

Every silence lets it show

So say it like you mean it

Say it like you mean it, and I'll know

Bridge

Maybe we won't last past August

Maybe that's the point of us

Two sparks lit against the dark

Burning bright is still enough

So no more almosts, no more maybes

Just this field and just this glow

Give me one thing I can hold onto

Before the fireflies let go

Chorus

Say it like you mean it

Under skies still burning slow

Say it like you mean it

Before we let the summer go

Every word's a spark we're keeping

Every silence lets it show

So say it like you mean it

Say it like you mean it, and I'll know
