[high intensity, instrumental intro, synth arpeggios, piano chords and warm background] [Verse 1] Warm air tastes like tangerine Melted ice in the glass between us You trace circles on the wooden rail Say “do you ever feel time watching?” Your sunglasses hiding your eyes But I can see the past in your shoulders Every freckle Every faded bruise Little proof that the days got older [Chorus] Are we just ghosts of July? Drifting through a golden sky All of these moments Already slipping from the light Stay while the daylight dies Freeze-frame the fire in your eyes If every breath is passing by Then let me haunt this summer night [Verse 2] Sprinklers hiss on the neighbor’s lawn Late train crying somewhere distant You hum pieces of a forgotten song Wrong words But the tune persistent You say “promise me you’ll remember this” The sticky air The broken screen door The taste of your upper lip - our last kiss How the quiet shook us to the core [Chorus] Are we just ghosts of July? Drifting through a golden sky All of these moments Already slipping from the light Stay while the daylight dies Freeze-frame the fire in your eyes If every breath is passing by Then let me haunt this summer night [Bridge] We won’t get this sunset twice Won’t get this shade of your laugh again Names we carved in the fading light Might wash away But I’ll keep them [Chorus] Are we just ghosts of July? Drifting through a golden sky All of these moments Already slipping from the light Stay while the daylight dies Freeze-frame the fire in your eyes If every breath is passing by Then let me haunt this summer night [big energy instrumental outro]
