Paper Cup Summer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We met by the laundromat fence You had tan lines on your hands Blue bike parked by the curb Cherry stains on my wristband Backseat full of beach towel sand Windows down, you laughed too loud We were young and hard to hold Like a secret in a crowd [Pre-Chorus] Then your phone lit up And the sky went dim You said, "I got to go" And I said, "Let me in" [Chorus] You stole my summer (you stole my summer) Left me the warmest afterglow You stole my summer (you stole my summer) Now every July feels old I keep your name on my tongue Like sun on a paper cup You stole my summer And I still can't give it up [Verse 2] Your tank top on my bedroom floor Salt on the collar, not the shore That old cassette in the glove Played all the way to the store We kissed where the tennis court cracked Under the fan at the corner shop Now the ice melts slow in my drink And I still hear that parking lot [Pre-Chorus] Then your phone lit up And the sky went dim You said, "I got to go" And I said, "Let me in" [Chorus] You stole my summer (you stole my summer) Left me the warmest afterglow You stole my summer (you stole my summer) Now every July feels old I keep your name on my tongue Like sun on a paper cup You stole my summer And I still can't give it up [Bridge] Maybe I loved the rush More than the way you stayed Maybe I kept the burn For the day you slipped away But when the heat comes back You come back too Same half-smile Same blue jean truth [Final Chorus] You stole my summer (you stole my summer) Left me the warmest afterglow You stole my summer (you stole my summer) Now every July feels old I keep your name on my tongue Like sun on a paper cup You stole my summer And I still can't give it up [Outro] Stolen summer (stolen summer) I still can't give it up
