[start] [Intro: Analog synth pad with clean electric guitar arpeggio and gated drum ambience] The heat in the air, fading slow Neon sky in a radio glow [Verse] Driving down the coastline road tonight Windows open, city out of sight Every song reminds me of your name Every mile just feels the same We were young in the afterglow Chasing dreams we didn't know How the seasons slip away Like the colors of the day [Instrumental build: rising synth pad with tom fills] [Chorus] In the last light of summer We were burning like the sun Holding on to forever Like the night would never come In the last light of summer I can still see your eyes Frozen somewhere in time Under neon skies (neon skies) [Verse] Old cassette playing memories Static filled with what used to be Every word we never said Echoes running through my head We were standing on the edge of change Nothing felt too far away But the moment slipped too fast Now it's only in the past [Instrumental break: melodic electric guitar with chorus effect] [Chorus] In the last light of summer We were burning like the sun Holding on to forever Like the night would never come In the last light of summer I can still see your eyes Frozen somewhere in time Under neon skies (neon skies) [Bridge: stripped pad + soft kick pulse] If I could go back again To the nights that never end I would stay in that moment Where we didn’t have to pretend [Instrumental swell: big synth rise with tom fill] [Chorus] In the last light of summer We were burning like the sun Holding on to forever Like the night would never come In the last light of summer Every shadow, every sound Still alive in my heart Every time I turn around (turn around) [Chorus] In the last light of summer We were young, we were free In the glow of the city lights You were right next to me (next to me) In the last light of summer Nothing felt so far away But the night kept moving on And the feeling couldn’t stay [Outro: fading synth pad with clean guitar and distant reverb] We were burning in the summer light We were fading with the night [end]
