Lyric

Lit me up like summer

Julia Takada

How did we get here

Far away from our friends

Whispers in my ears

I was giving up

But you pulled me back in

Is this something real?

Brown eyes, freckles, your curly hair

How you touch me is so unfair

Soft gaze, warm lights

Now tell me what you wanna do to me

Won’t be waiting for so long

Head spinning, don’t know why

Thoughts drifting, don’t know why

Heart racing, don’t know why

You keep me up at night

Head spinning, don’t know why

Thoughts drifting, don’t know why

Heart racing, don’t know why

You keep me up at night

Hey, you know

I’ve been thinking about you lately

On my tippy toes

That’s what you do to me boy

Been a while since I felt this craving

It’s making me wild hmm

Your fingers tracing my pink lips

How you touch me is so unfair

Soft gaze, warm lights

Now tell me how you wanna kiss me

Won’t be waiting for so long

Lit me up like summer

There’s no love like other

The boy of my dreams

The boy of my dreams

Now I’m lost in the colors

Can’t be one or another

He’s more than he seems

He’s more than he seems

Kiss me under water

We can keep our secrets in the ocean

Let’s get lost beneath the stars

Sailing through the night

With every breath I take, time slows down when you’re near

Kiss me under water

Head spinning, don’t know why

Thoughts drifting, don’t know why

Heart racing, don’t know why

You keep me up at night

Lit me up like summer

There’s no love like other

The boy of my dreams

The boy of my dreams

Now I’m lost in the colors

Can’t be one or another

He’s more than he seems

He’s more than he seems

Kiss me under water

We can keep our secrets in the ocean

Let’s get lost beneath the stars

Sailing through the night

Lit me up like summer

Lit me up like summer

Lit me up like summer

Lit me up like summer
