Secondhand Summer

[Verse 1]
(Male)
You left your records in my kitchen
Needle still dusted in July
Coffee cup with your red lipstick
Keeps asking me the reason why

[Verse 2]
(Female)
Your denim jacket on my chair
Smells like rain and gasoline
Every pocket holds a moment
Every thread a in-between

[Chorus]
(Both)
We were just a secondhand summer
Faded like a thrift store tee
Wore it till the colors ran together
Then you slipped away from me
Still I keep these broken little pieces
Like a song stuck in my head
Secondhand summer
Almost lovers
Living in the things you left

[Verse 3]
(Male)
Friends all say I should replace you
Put new pictures in your frame
But that frame knows every heartbeat
Changing it would feel the same

[Pre-Chorus]
(Female)
If I throw away your letters
Will the words stop chasing me
(Male)
If you walk past my old doorway
Would you hear our melody

[Chorus]
(Both)
We were just a secondhand summer
Faded like a thrift store tee
Wore it till the colors ran together
Then you slipped away from me
Still I keep these broken little pieces
Like a song stuck in my head
Secondhand summer
Almost lovers
Living in the things you left

[Bridge]
(Female)
Maybe next year I’ll remember
How to love in something new
(Male)
But tonight I’m on that rooftop
Watching last August with you (oh)

[Chorus]
(Both)
We were just a secondhand summer
Faded like a thrift store tee
Wore it till the colors ran together
Then you slipped away from me
Still I keep these broken little pieces
Like a song stuck in my head
Secondhand summer
Almost lovers
Living in the things you left
(Both, soft)
Secondhand summer
Living in the things you left
