Salt On Your Shirt

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You showed up in July With salt on your shirt Old blue sandals And a laugh that could hurt We skipped the boardwalk Bare feet on the pier You said my name slow Like you wanted me near [Pre-Chorus] And the tide kept time On the edge of our night Your hand found mine Under gold porch light [Chorus] Stay a little longer Stay a little longer Summer on my tongue And your name on my shoulder Stay a little longer Stay a little longer If this ends at dawn Let it end where we started [Verse 2] Mango juice stain On the side of your hand You kissed me quick Then you pulled me back The screen door swung And the moths came close We watched the pool glow Like a secret we both knew [Pre-Chorus] And the sky went soft As the sun went low You said, "don't go yet" I said, "I know" [Chorus] Stay a little longer Stay a little longer Summer on my tongue And your name on my shoulder Stay a little longer Stay a little longer If this ends at dawn Let it end where we started [Bridge] Now every warm wind Feels like your touch Every half-finished dream Still means too much If I hear that song From the shop by the bay I’m back on your porch In that bright blue haze [Final Chorus] Stay a little longer Stay a little longer Summer on my tongue And your name on my shoulder Stay a little longer Stay a little longer If this ends at dawn Let it end where we started Stay a little longer Stay a little longer I still taste July When I close my eyes
