Taking a trip downtown Doing my own thing Slow pace No plan Street blocked off Whole block loud Tents in a line Bracelets hanging on a stand Bands on the corner Kids on shoulders That smoke of barbecue hanging in the air Sun on my neck Drinkin' a cold soda Pretty girls laughing everywhere Summer in the streets I’m just cruising (just cruising) Wallet getting light ‘cause I keep on choosing Little souvenirs Little bites Little sounds Thought I’d just dip Then head back out of town But summer had a twist I didn’t see Tapped on the shoulder Turned around You were in front of me I’m chilled as I wander around Grab a new tee Couple stickers for the fridge door Checkin’ my screen Mapping my way Halfway thinking ‘bout a nap Halfway thinking ‘bout more Then a fingertip hits my shoulder Turn And the whole damn day flips over (oh) There you are Ten years older But somehow even better Standing closer Hair pulled back Sundress and sandals Smile like you’d been here the whole time waiting You laugh and say “It’s really nice to see you Been a minute Maybe we should hang out later?” Summer in the streets Heart starts racing (heart racing) All of those what-ifs we were always chasing All of that distance melts right down Two old friends in a brand-new town Summer in the streets wrote a line for me Tapped on my shoulder Turned around You were in front of me We talk fast Catching up in the crosswalk Names of our jobs Some missed the mark All the small talk But under it all That same old spark Like the years went dark then clicked back on You type your number in my cracked-up screen Say “Don’t wait ten more You know what I mean” (you know what I mean) I walk to my ride with a subtle grin Thinking this might be where the next part begins Summer in the streets Plans are changing (yeah) Thought I was alone Now the day’s rearranging Little red hearts near your name in my phone Suddenly the city doesn’t feel so grown Summer in the streets did a trick on me Tapped on my shoulder Turned around You were in front of me Tapped on my shoulder Turned around You were a sight to see Copyright © 2026 by The November Son.
