Summer Solstice

[Intro] I pull the keys from the ignition as the morning breaks over the dashboard. We drank the bitter coffee from the paper cups we bought at the corner store. [Verse 1] The yellow lines rush under the tires as the heavy rain hits the glass. You turn the dial up on the radio and watch the green signs rolling past. [Chorus | Explosive Energy] We drive all day, we stay alert, we take the long way home. The sky is gray, the path is straight, we make it on our own. We fly away, we celebrate, we leave the town behind. We find a place, a better space, we keep it in our mind. [Verse 2] The salty breeze comes rushing through the open window on the passenger side. I smell the pine trees towering above the gravel shoulder where we glide. We taste the sweet vanilla sugar from the bakery down on main street. You tap your fingers on the leather console stepping hard to the drum kick. [Chorus | Explosive Energy] We drive all day, we stay alert, we take the long way home. The sky is gray, the path is straight, we make it on our own. We fly away, we celebrate, we leave the town behind. We find a place, a better space, we keep it in our mind. [Outro] The tires slow down, we park the car right by the ocean sand. We step outside, we breathe it in, we finally understand.
