Slow Down Summer

(albüm: Where We Started - 2022)

Your shades on my dashboard, shoes on my floorboard
Lived in that old Chevrolet
We were two Roman candles, too hot to handle
Two hearts that couldn't be tamed

Yeah, we knew, what was coming and laughed it off
Like it was nothing
Oh, but time, kept on running and running away

Yeah, what can I say
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Falling fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green than those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishing the weather wasn't getting colder
Letting you go, holding on to each other
Closing our eyes, saying, "Slow down summer"
(Slow down summer, summer, summer)

I was begging those leaves, don't go changing on me
Friday night lights, stay away
But the 4th of July was just smoke in the sky
And our sunburns were starting to fade

Yeah, we knew, what was coming and laughed it off
Like it was nothing
Oh, but time kept on running and running away

Yeah, those were the days
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Falling fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green than those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishing the weather wasn't getting colder
Letting you go, holding onto each other
Closing our eyes, saying, "Slow down summer"
(Slow down summer, summer, summer)

Why couldn't you slow down summer?
Just wait a minute, we weren't finished
Can we just hold on to each other?
Take me back to the beginning
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Slow down summer
(Summer, summer, summer, summer)
Slow down summer
(Summer, summer)

Yeah, those were the days
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Falling fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green than those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishing the weather wasn't getting colder
Letting you go, holding on to each other
Closing our eyes, saying, "Slow down summer"
(Slow down summer, summer, summer)

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Slow down summer, yeah
Why couldn't you slow down summer?
Why couldn't you slow down?
Slow down, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Why couldn't you slow down summer?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
