Lyric

Sunlight on the schoolyard wall

Sneakers on the warm concrete

We were young, we had no plan

Just running where the wind would lead

Ice cream melting in our hands

Music from a broken phone

Laughing like the world was ours

Even when we were alone

Time was slow, hearts were fast

Every dream felt close enough

Didn’t know it wouldn’t last

But we didn’t need to know that much

We were the summer, we were the sky

Blue and endless in our eyes

Every promise, every try

Felt like it could touch the light

We were the days that fade too soon

The 7 p.m. golden hue

Even now when I close my eyes

I see the summer we were

Polaroids and messy hair

Your jacket on my shoulders

Talking ‘bout a future place

Like we’d stay this young forever

Train rides with the windows down

Names carved in a wooden desk

We said “don’t forget this time”

Like we knew what was coming next

If I could go back for a while

I’d tell my younger heart

Don’t be afraid of goodbyes

They’re just another kind of start

We were the summer, we were the sky

Blue and endless in our eyes

Every promise, every try

Felt like it could touch the light

We were the days that fade too soon

The 7 p.m. golden hue

Even now when I close my eyes

I see the summer we were

Maybe we grew, maybe we changed

Maybe life pulled us apart

But that feeling still remains

Like a song inside my heart

Every laugh, every tear

Still lives in me somehow

That version of you and me

Is forever right now

We were the summer, we were the sky

Young and fearless, burning bright

Every moment passing by

Shining like a firefly

We were the days that fade too soon

The soft and endless afternoon

Even now when the years have turned

I remember the summer we were

Yeah, I remember

The summer we were
