The asphalt’s burning under my feet City’s screaming in a four-four beat Your shadow dances in the neon rain Same old streets but I’m not the same Salt in the air, sweat on my skin Every goodbye pulls me back in I trace your name in the fading light Summer’s loud but my heart’s still tight Cigarette smoke in the twilight glow We said forever but we didn’t know Time moves fast when the nights are long Every right turn feels a little wrong Radio cries out our favorite song Three minutes feel like all night long If this is love, then it hurts so bad But it’s the best damn pain I’ve ever had Still burning, summer, we’re alive Dancing on edges, barely survive Hands in the fire, eyes in the sun We know it’s over but we never run Still burning, summer, hear my heart scream Nothing is real but this broken dream If I lose you when the season ends I’ll still scream your name — still burning, summer Midnight echoes on the coastline drive Windows down just to feel alive Your laughter cuts through the engine noise We were just kids playing grown-up games Every promise carved in the sand Washed away by a trembling hand I taste regret, I taste your kiss Tell me now — what the hell is this? Fireworks burst like our last fight Beautiful scars in the summer night We crash, we burn, we make it worse Love feels like a blessing and a curse If I could stop this runaway train I’d crash again just to feel the pain Say you’re leaving, say it’s the end But don’t look back — I’ll break again Still burning, summer, we’re alive Sweat and tears in the heat of July Say it’s a lie, say we’re done But my heart still beats like a loaded gun Still burning, summer, don’t fade away Even forever melts someday If this goodbye is where it ends I’ll still believe — still burning, summer Are we lovers or just a memory? Chasing shadows of what we used to be If the sun goes down on you and me Would you still remember? Would you still remember me? Still burning, summer, feel the temperature rise Truth on your lips, lies in your eyes We’re too far gone to pretend This is the start of the end Still burning, summer, carved in my soul Every scar still makes me whole Even when the sun turns cold This fire never gets old Still burning, summer, scream it loud We were lost but never drowned If this love is all we had I’d live it twice — still burning, summer
