[Verse 1] We wrote the names in a little blue book Santorini, the reef, the bay Flip-flops by the door Suncream on the sill Now the postcards burn at the edges The pool still tiles its bright fake sky The hotel keys still clink in my hand But the pier is a checkpoint The beach is a line And the tide brings up broken glass [Pre-Chorus] You said, "Take me back" I said, "Back where?" Past the souvenir shop Past the shutters of war [Chorus] The Bucket List The Bucket List Where did the summer go? The Bucket List The Bucket List Under the smoke and stone [Verse 2] Marrakech on a plate Bali in a song The ferry route, the old boardwalk We were chasing open water We were chasing cheap rooms Now the map has red marks on it The cafe still smells like cardamom The mosque still calls through dust But the olive trees lean Like they heard a shout And the square is a field of rust [Pre-Chorus] You said, "Take me back" I said, "Back where?" Past the souvenir shop Past the shutters of war [Chorus] The Bucket List The Bucket List Where did the summer go? The Bucket List The Bucket List Under the smoke and stone [Bridge] [Spoken] I remember sandals in the hallway A passport bent soft with rain I remember your laugh at the shoreline Now the shoreline has a name [Sung] No one packed for this No one booked this heat We keep the old receipts Like prayers with no front teeth [Chorus] The Bucket List The Bucket List Where did the summer go? The Bucket List The Bucket List Under the smoke and stone [Outro] You said, "Take me back" I said, "Back where?" The Bucket List The Bucket List Still open in the air
