Soft Focus July

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bare feet on the dashboard Melted ice in a paper cup You draw hearts in the fogged glass Say "I think we messed the timing up" Sunburn on your shoulders Sand stuck deep in my shoes You laugh Steal my sunglasses Say "Promise me you won’t forget this view" [Chorus] Soft focus July You’re all out of frame Lip gloss Cherry You’re saying my name I don’t know the future I just know this air Smells like your shampoo And salt in your hair Soft focus July You blur when I blink You’re gone when I wake But you stay in the sink In the towel In the T-shirt In the backseat hum Summer on my tongue Where did we come undone? [Verse 2] Late checkout at the motel Pool lights buzzing in blue You dance in the parking lot Slow to songs leaking from room 102 Your lipstick on my wristband Ticket stub in my phone case We talk like we’ll come back here Then get quiet on the interstate [Chorus] Soft focus July You’re all out of frame Lip gloss Cherry You’re saying my name I don’t know the future I just know this air Smells like your shampoo And salt in your hair Soft focus July You blur when I blink You’re gone when I wake But you stay in the sink In the towel In the T-shirt In the backseat hum Summer on my tongue Where did we come undone? [Bridge] [drums filter down Distant vocal echoes] If I drive past that exit Will the sky still look this pink? If you taste someone September Will you ever taste this drink? (mmm) I keep replaying your shoulder In the glow of the dashboard light Trying to stretch a three-week story Into every sleepless night [Chorus] Soft focus July You’re all out of frame Lip gloss Cherry You’re saying my name I don’t know the future I just know this air Smells like your shampoo And salt in your hair Soft focus July Stay stuck in my teeth Sticky-sweet memory under my tongue when I breathe In the towel In the T-shirt In the backseat hum Summer on my tongue Summer on my tongue (soft focus, don’t run)
