Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Dust on the glass Time moving fast Three dollar rings And plastic things June air is thick Cherry on a stick Melting on my thumb Feeling kind of numb [Pre-Chorus] I saw your shadow first Before the bubble burst It’s been at least three years Since we shared those beers [Chorus] Golden hour glow Nowhere left to go Just a Polaroid frame Calling out your name Sticky fingers, sweet Dancing in the heat Yeah, it’s all we need At this breakneck speed [Post-Chorus] Oh, oh, oh Where did the summer go? Oh, oh, oh Everything we know [Verse] You’re wearing blue Is it really you? Your hair is long Like a vintage song We talk about the weather How we’re not together Looking at the crates Testing out our fates [Pre-Chorus] I see the minor shift In the way we drift It’s a quiet kind of joy For a girl and boy [Chorus] Golden hour glow Nowhere left to go Just a Polaroid frame Calling out your name Sticky fingers, sweet Dancing in the heat Yeah, it’s all we need At this breakneck speed [Bridge] Don't let the shutter close That’s how the feeling goes Catch it while it’s bright Before the fade of light We’re a memory now Don't ask me how [Verse] Crumpled in my hand Like we always planned Small talk is enough The simple kind of stuff Sun is sinking low Watch the colors go I’ll see you around In this sleepy town [Chorus] Golden hour glow Nowhere left to go Just a Polaroid frame Calling out your name Sticky fingers, sweet Dancing in the heat Yeah, it’s all we need At this breakneck speed [Post-Chorus] Oh, oh, oh Where did the summer go? Oh, oh, oh Everything we know [Outro]
