[Verse 1 | close male vocal | fingerpicked acoustic guitar | light kick drum only | no bass yet] The sun is pressing hard on me I'm lying on the shore Eyes closed but wide awake The world is sound and heat Children playing somewhere near Voices drifting, words unclear The ocean pulls and pushes slow The tide rolls in. Nowhere else to go [Chorus | male vocal upfront | clean electric guitar left channel | melodic bass right channel | drums centered | no guitar layers] Burn it into me Let the summer sign its name And make me feel it all again Take me back to that day When the light fell that way Leave your mark on me (Leave your mark on me) [Verse 2 | close male vocal | acoustic guitar only | no drums | intimate] I close my eyes and find the sea The scent of sun and light Something stirs in memory All the summers burning bright My hair is turning gold again My skin is turning deep brown Summer writes itself on me Before the sun begins to drown [Chorus | male vocal upfront | clean electric guitar left channel | melodic bass right channel | drums centered | no guitar layers] Burn it into me Let the summer sign its name And make me feel it all again Take me back to that day When the light fell that way Leave your mark on me (Leave your mark on me) [Bridge | bass guitar only | no drums | no guitar | vocal close and dry] Every season comes and goes. They leave their marks across these lands. [Chorus | male vocal upfront | clean electric guitar left channel | melodic bass right channel | drums centered | wide stereo | peak energy] Burn it into me Let the summer sign its name And make me feel it all again Take me back to that day When the light fell that way Leave your mark on me (Leave your mark on me) [Outro | single acoustic guitar | no effects | intimate | fade out] Burn it into me One more time Let me lie here in the sun [End]
