Mint Green Summer

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust on the shelf
I was working by myself
Scraping off the rust
In the morning light and dust
Found a mint-green shell
With a story left to tell
Tucked inside the lid
Where the 70s stayed hid
[Pre-Chorus]
Blue ink on a page
Softened by its age
Summer seventy-two
Things she meant to do
She walked in the door
To the hardware store
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re chasing the light
Getting every turn right
Joy don't have a date
It’s never too late
On a Ferris wheel spin
Let the magic begin
From the pie to the fair
There is love in the air
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, we're living it now
Don't ask me how
Just a list and a dream
Like a peaches and cream
[Verse]
Fireflies in a jar
Leaning on my car
Diner dates at nine
Everything is feeling fine
She wore a yellow dress
Looking like a grand success
Crossing off the lines
Underneath the neon signs
[Pre-Chorus]
Widowed but not done
Reaching for the sun
Three months in a blur
Doing it for her
And doing it for me
Finally feeling free
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re chasing the light
Getting every turn right
Joy don't have a date
It’s never too late
On a Ferris wheel spin
Let the magic begin
From the pie to the fair
There is love in the air
[Bridge]
Steel guitar starts to weep
Promises we get to keep
The cooler’s good as new
And the sky is turning blue
Age is just a number
In a mint-green summer
[Solo]
[Hook]
Check it off the list
Everything we missed
Check it off the list
Give the world a twist
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re chasing the light
Getting every turn right
Joy don't have a date
It’s never too late
On a Ferris wheel spin
Let the magic begin
From the pie to the fair
There is love in the air
[Breakdown]
No expiration on the soul
That’s how you stay whole
No expiration on the heart
That’s the best part
[Outro]
