Lyric

The summer burned but you walked in with a cardigan

Like you never cared what season tried to tell us then

Every yellow car on the street looked almost like you

A quiet little haunting I kept running into

I didn’t know that love could bloom

Between two different lives

Not until the moment when your shadow

Crossed the centre of mine

Waking up beside you in that pale forgiving light

You softened all my edges

And made the morning feel like right

Summer heat and you in that cardigan

Loving you was easy ‘cause I never had to name it

Every yellow car still pulls me back again

To the part of us that couldn’t make it

And my heart

My heart is still stranded

In the season where you stayed

You ran cold I was burning like an August sky

We traded blankets and laughter

Through restless nights

Two different worlds pretending

We could meet halfway

Two stories trying to share

The same doorway

Every time you touched me

The clock forgot to move

Your cold left hand, my warm right hand

A future flickered in that groove

Summer heat and you with that cardigan

The picture fades softer but it lingers like a scar

You’re the warmest memory in every mile I’ve walked

Since you walked off with my heart

We stood frozen on the front porch of forever

One breath away from choosing the same road

Your silhouette from that summer still follows me

A tomorrow we never wrote

A light I still can’t outrun

Summer heat and you in that cardigan

Loving you was easy ‘cause I never had to name it

Every yellow car still pulls me back again

To the part of us that couldn’t make it

Because we were just one breath away

From forever
