Lyrics
Ten lights, cheap beer, jasmine blooming in my ear, poolside laughs and late night songs
I blink and boom, summer's gone
We kissed behind the bleachers once, sunburned lips and bubble gum
Your hand on mine, the game long done, but time was ours, we'd just begun
Now I see you in rerun scenes, the laugh inside my TV screen, your Santa song, a shade of sky, gone too fast but never dry
Summer's long gone, but I still feel it, your ghost in heat waves
I still reel it, your name's a whisper in a fan slow hum my heart still stops when strangers come
Summer's long gone, but I still hear it, your voice in sitcoms, still endearing
Time's moved on, but here I am, barefoot on that old ball stand, your parents pull those plastic chairs
Skin like bronze and wind in hair, we swore we'd leave this town behind, but I just stayed and pressed rewind
The sun set slow on our last ride, I watched it through your glassy eyes, even now I hum that track and part of me still wants you back
Summer's long gone, but it plays nightly, your touch in jasmine still burns brightly
I trace our names in sweat on glass and wonder why I let it pass
Summer's long gone, but I still fake it, you in reruns
I can't replace it, maybe you forgot it all, but I remember every fall
I thought it'd fade like tan lines do, but it didn't, it just stayed in different colors
Summer's long gone, but I still want to be here, your ghost is barefoot in the heat, one kiss behind that quiet stand, still echoes louder than I planned
Summer's long gone, and it still feels new, but so much of me stayed with you, and if I pass you on the street, would you hear that summer beat still hear it
Summer's long gone
Summer's long gone
