Stolen Summer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You took July Like a song from my hands Left my tan line On your passenger plans We had motel ice Melting in the cup Now your name hits hard When the sun goes up [Pre-Chorus] And I still feel it On my skin, on my skin That weekend gold We were living in You said "stay close" Then you slipped through my fingers Now every warm night Brings those stolen summer splinters [Chorus] Stolen summer, you were mine Stolen summer, all that time We were bright, we burned too fast Now the good days skip like glass Stolen summer, say my name Stolen summer, stay the same I can’t chase what’s gone away But I feel you in the shade [Verse 2] Your denim jacket On the back of my chair Salt on your shoulders And nowhere to care We laughed so loud At the edge of the pier Now the same old wave Brings you back here I keep finding traces In a folded receipt In the cracked car ashtray In the ache of the heat [Pre-Chorus] And I still feel it On my skin, on my skin That weekend gold We were living in You said "stay close" Then you slipped through my fingers Now every warm night Brings those stolen summer splinters [Chorus] Stolen summer, you were mine Stolen summer, all that time We were bright, we burned too fast Now the good days skip like glass Stolen summer, say my name Stolen summer, stay the same I can’t chase what’s gone away But I feel you in the shade [Bridge] Maybe we were never meant To keep that fire in a frame Still I wear that faded heat Like it knows my middle name Ooh, ooh It still glows Ooh, ooh Even when it goes [Final Chorus] Stolen summer, you were mine Stolen summer, all that time We were bright, we burned too fast Now the good days skip like glass Stolen summer, say my name Stolen summer, stay the same I can’t chase what’s gone away But I feel you in the shade Stolen summer, stolen summer I still feel you in the shade
