[Verse 1] Late August in the grass Amber falling through the trees Running through the summer heat You were laughing next to me We had nowhere else to go Nothing waiting past the hill I remember wanting time To forget to move at all [Pre-Chorus] Take the long way home We've got nowhere else to be Let the daylight linger Stay a little longer here with me [Chorus] Till the sky turned blue Laughing under fading light Every step I took with you Felt like the start of life [Verse 2] Cicadas in the heat Fireflies began to rise Running through the afterglow Dancing at the edge of night Shadows stretching through the field First stars coming into view I don't remember what we said I just remember you [Pre-Chorus] Let the evening take its time Let the daylight disappear There's a whole world waiting somewhere But I only want you here [Chorus] Till the sky turned blue Laughing under fading light Every step I took with you Felt like the start of life [Bridge] Years can blur the little things The hour, the road, the place But summer leaves a little warmth That time cannot erase Somewhere in that amber field We're running even now Young enough to call it forever And almost know somehow [Final Chorus] Till the sky turned blue Laughing under fading light Every step I took with you Felt like the start of life [Outro] Late August in the grass First stars coming into sight Take the long way home with me We've still got a little light
