On the Edge of Summer

[Verse 1] Cutoff shorts and a borrowed bike Writing our names in the dusty side Sneaking that last slice from your mom’s fridge Cherry on our tongues at the village bridge [Pre-Chorus] We never checked the time We just let it run Talked about leaving Never said “done” Every small town street felt wide as the world You laughed so loud It shook my nerves [Chorus] On the edge of summer Hanging by a thread Hair in your face and the sun going red We were living like the days would never fade On the edge of summer We were unafraid Singing out of tune to the radio hum Chasing every second like it might not come Still feel the heat when I say your name On the edge of summer Frozen in my veins [Verse 2] Train tracks Daisy chain on your wrist You drew my future in a cloud of mist Polaroid ghosts in a shoebox lid Every crooked smile says we were just kids [Pre-Chorus] Said we’d meet in five years under that sign “Promise you won’t forget this time” We were half made plans and half-made up words All I had to lose was the way I heard your [Chorus] On the edge of summer Hanging by a thread Hair in your face and the sun going red We were living like the days would never fade On the edge of summer We were unafraid Singing out of tune to the radio hum Chasing every second like it might not come Still feel the heat when I say your name On the edge of summer Frozen in my veins [Bridge] Do you ever taste that weekend In the middle of your week? Does a certain kind of sunset Put our corners in your cheek? (oh) If I turn around fast enough Could you still be there? Bare feet on the pavement Salt spray in your hair [Chorus] On the edge of summer Hanging by a thread Hair in your face and the sun going red We were living like the days would never fade On the edge of summer We were unafraid (so unafraid) Singing out of tune to the radio hum Chasing every second like it might not come If growing up means letting go of that frame Keep me on the edge of summer Calling out your name
