[Intro] (fast tempo, 160 bpm, rapid guitar strumming, energetic reverb, building) [Verse 1] (rapid rap-sung delivery, breathless, tongue-twister cadence, summer haze) Faded light and the swing's still swaying empty in the yard where we used to stay Summer's gone and it took everything, every single thing we didn't say Should've stayed and should've known it, warm July was already turning cold as stone Every chance I had to hold it slipping faster than I could've ever known [Pre-Chorus] (fast layered harmonies, urgent, breathless) Should've said exactly what I meant before the moment bent and went Should've stayed right where you were instead of watching you disappear again [Chorus] (fast tempo, wide vocal, still emotional but driving forward, rapid delivery) Golden days keep slipping away, slipping faster every single day Wish I knew the words to say before you up and turned away Every regret tastes like the rain falling harder, driving every pain Back into the middle of July, back into the same mistake again [Verse 2] (rapid rap-sung delivery, breathless, floating but fast) Empty road, the sun is fading, photographs already turning pale Could've stayed instead of running, every word I had was set to fail Every single thing I'm chasing keeps on turning into memory Every step further from the moment I let go of you and me [Pre-Chorus] (fast layered harmonies, urgent, breathless) Should've said exactly what I meant before the moment bent and went Should've stayed right where you were instead of watching you disappear again [Chorus] (fast tempo, wide vocal, driving forward, rapid delivery) Golden days keep slipping away, slipping faster every single day Wish I knew the words to say before you up and turned away Every regret tastes like the rain falling harder, driving every pain Back into the middle of July, back into the same mistake again [Bridge] (rapid whispered delivery, breathless, most urgent moment, fast but vulnerable) If I could go back right now I would stay somehow, find a way somehow Just to feel that light again, just to hold one more golden night again Every second slipping through my hands like water, faster than I understand Every chance I had to make it right dissolving faster into the night [Final Chorus] (fullest arrangement, fast, driving, dreamy but urgent swell) Golden days keep slipping away, slipping faster every single day Wish I knew the words to say before you up and turned away Every regret tastes like the rain falling harder, driving every pain Back into the middle of July, back into the same mistake, again [Outro] (fast strumming decelerating suddenly, sparse, single note lingering) (instrumental, rapid fade, warm and unresolved)
