Back to June

[Intro - dreamy retro synth textures, shimmering shoegaze guitars, intimate male baritone] The vinyle begins to turn again Dust and daylight in the room A faded frame comes drifting through And everything points back to June [Verse 1 - warm melodic shoegaze, nostalgic and tender] Bicycles sleeping near the station Late gold hanging over the tracks You kept drawing circles in a notebook While the evening slowly stretched its back [Chorus - soaring, melodic, lush wall of sound] Take me back to June Back to the season, back to you I can't separate the two anymore No matter how hard I try to Was I chasing summer through the years Or spending all that time chasing you? [Verse 2 - richer guitars, subtle analog textures] Every photograph starts moving When I hold it long enough The riverbank, the market square The little jokes and reckless stuff June was laughing by the water At least that's how I hear it now Maybe memory changed the details Maybe memory knows somehow [Chorus - bigger and brighter] Take me back to June Back to the season, back to you I can't separate the two anymore No matter how hard I try to Was I chasing summer through the years Or spending all that time chasing you? Ah-ah-ah... Ah-ah-ah... [Bridge - floating, dreamy, falsetto accents, guitars blooming] June in the leaves above the river June in the letters that you drew June in the air of every summer June in everything I knew [Final Chorus - quieter, emotional peak] Take me back to June Back before distance came into view Before the years could blur the edges Before we knew what time could do After all this time I'm still not sure Which one I'm running to [Outro - washed-out guitars, retro tape ambience, fading harmonies, vocalise] Ah-ah-ah... Ah-ah-ah... June... June... June...
