Somehow We Made It Look Easy

Verse

Screen door slapping twice behind us

Bare feet on the gravel drive

Sixteen summers, one old blanket

Spread across the truck bed sky

You counted stars, I counted freckles

On your shoulders, sunburned gold

The creek was low, the air was honey

Nobody told us we'd grow old

Pre-Chorus

Did we know what we were holding

When the fireflies came out

Did we feel the weight of golden

Or just let it float around

Chorus

Somehow we made it look easy

Barefoot, breathing, believing in June

Somehow the light kept on finding

Us in that field by the dune

We didn't chase it, didn't need to

It just stayed however it could

Somehow we made it look easy

And I'm still holding on to that woods

Verse

Now it's a photograph curling

Yellow at the edges, soft with age

Your handwriting on the back side

Fading like a pencil page

I drive past that old dirt turnoff

Windows down, same wind, same road

The creek's still there, the trees are taller

Carrying what we didn't know

Pre-Chorus

Did we know what we were holding

When the fireflies came out

Did we feel the weight of golden

Or just let it float around

Chorus

Somehow we made it look easy

Barefoot, breathing, believing in June

Somehow the light kept on finding

Us in that field by the dune

We didn't chase it, didn't need to

It just stayed however it could

Somehow we made it look easy

And I'm still holding on to that woods

Bridge

Maybe easy was the current

Underneath us all along

Maybe holding on means letting

Some of it become a song

The blanket's gone, the truck is rusted

Somewhere out past county line

But I still feel that August sunlight

Every time I close my eyes

Chorus

Somehow we made it look easy

Barefoot, breathing, believing in June

Somehow the light kept on finding

Us in that field by the dune

We didn't chase it, didn't need to

It just stayed however it could

Somehow we made it look easy

And I'm still holding on to that woods
