[Intro] [Warm analog tape hiss] [Fuzzy, detuned acoustic guitar strumming] [Faint, glitchy vintage drum machine tick] [Verse 1] [Fragile close-mic high nasal reedy male tenor,telephone effect] Sunlight poured like honey on the skin We danced barefoot where the grass was thin Laughter hung like smoke above the lake We thought the heat would never break [Verse 2] [Quirky old optigan synth enters] Your fingers traced the water on my glass The world was gold and spinning way too fast We kissed like we invented summer air Like time was ours and nothing else was there [Chorus] [Fuzzy overdriven electric guitar explosion] [Melancholic cello counter-melody] Then the sky tore open, silver turned to gray Clouds rolled in like promises that never learned to stay Autumn doesn’t wear that shining edge no more Just memories of lips on mine and nothing left to hold [Verse 3] [Music drops out to just a lonely acoustic guitar and tape hiss] The blanket soaked and heavy on the ground We ran but rain already caught the sound Your shirt clung wet and clinging to your frame We laughed until the laughter turned to rain [Chorus] [Explosive fuzzy guitar distortion returns] Then the sky tore open, silver turned to gray Clouds rolled in like promises that never learned to stay Autumn doesn’t wear that shining edge no more Just memories of lips on mine and nothing left to hold [Break] [Melancholic cinematic cello solo with analog static warbles] [Chorus] [Vocal switches to heavily distorted radio microphone mic] Then the sky tore open, silver turned to gray Clouds rolled in like promises that never learned to stay Autumn doesn’t wear that shining edge no more Just memories of lips on mine and nothing left to hold [Outro] [Music slowly degrades and slows down] (oh-oh, oh-oh) [Faint mechanical clicking] [Tape stop effect] [End]
