[Verse 1] We left our names on the fence Paint peeling in the rain Your shoes in the mud by the pier Mine on the train That red metal gate still squeaks Like it knows our code We were kings of that broken dock Now it barely holds [Pre-Chorus] And I still see it When the sky goes gold Your hand in the salt wind My heart on hold [Chorus] Hold on to the summer Hold on to the fire We were young and furious Running through the wire Hold on to the summer Hold on to the flame If we fall apart tonight We still say our names [Verse 2] The arcade died years ago But the prize wall glows In your eyes when you laugh too hard Like nobody knows I kept that bent guitar pick In my desk for luck It’s worn down to a silver leaf Still enough to cut [Pre-Chorus] And I still hear it When the tide rolls in Your voice in the rafters My nerves in the wind [Chorus] Hold on to the summer Hold on to the fire We were young and furious Running through the wire Hold on to the summer Hold on to the flame If we fall apart tonight We still say our names [Bridge] [Half-time] Take the long way back Past the boarded shop Past the rusted sign That used to never stop You were my spark in the dark I was your open door If this is all we get I want a little more [Final Chorus] Hold on to the summer Hold on to the fire We were young and furious Running through the wire Hold on to the summer Hold on to the flame If we fall apart tonight We still say our names Hold on to the summer (hold on to the summer) Hold on to the fire (hold on to the fire) We were young and furious (running through the wire) We still say our names (we still say our names)
