Sun-Faded Letters

[Intro]
[Verse]
The porch swing creaks a tune
Under the heavy yellow moon
Lemonade on sticky glass
Watching the long shadows pass
The wood is cracked and old
Like the stories we never told
[Pre-Chorus]
The air is thick and still
Resting on the window sill
I hear your ghost in the hall
Tracing patterns on the wall
[Chorus]
Sun-faded days in the heat
Dust on our bare feet
You were my only light
Before you vanished from sight
Now the summer feels so cold
And I am growing old
[Post-Chorus]
Where did the summer go?
I really need to know
Where did the summer go?
I really need to know
[Verse]
Found that tape in a drawer
The one we listened to before
Static hissing through the sound
When you were still around
Your name is written in pen
I wish I could see you again
[Chorus]
Sun-faded days in the heat
Dust on our bare feet
You were my only light
Before you vanished from sight
Now the summer feels so cold
And I am growing old
[Bridge]
The cello hums a low refrain
To wash away the hidden pain
You moved across the state line
I stayed behind to define
What it means to let go
Of everything we used to know
[Verse]
The grass is dry and brown
Quiet in this lonely town
I write these words to the sky
Without a chance to say goodbye
A letter left on the floor
By the locked and heavy door
[Chorus]
Sun-faded days in the heat
Dust on our bare feet
You were my only light
Before you vanished from sight
Now the summer feels so cold
And I am growing old
[Post-Chorus]
Where did the summer go?
I really need to know
Where did the summer go?
I really need to know
[Outro]
