Carry This Summer

Friday slips its jacket off the day
You meet me by the corner, laughing late
We leave our phones asleep inside a drawer
And take the long way out beyond the shore

The sky turns apricot above the bay
Your hand finds mine; the week falls away
No map, no reason, nothing left to prove
Just all our friends and room enough to move

We come alive when the weekend begins
Hearts wide open, surrounded by friends
Chasing the sunset, holding on tight
Making these memories last through the night
For love, for life, for the freedom we found
Till morning lays gold on the edge of the town
We come alive, and wherever we go
We carry this summer wherever we roam

Mara brings a blanket, Jules brings fruit
Someone tells the story that we all know by heart
Bare feet on the sand, salt upon our skin
Every little ordinary thing feels golden again

The sky turns lavender, the tide rolls in
You lean close, and I start smiling again
No clock, no hurry, nowhere else to be
Our little circle, wide as the sea

We come alive when the weekend begins
Hearts wide open, surrounded by friends
Chasing the sunset, holding on tight
Making these memories last through the night
For love, for life, for the freedom we found
Till morning lays gold on the edge of the town
We come alive, and wherever we go
We carry this summer wherever we roam

When the first birds call, let them find us here
With the last song fading and the day drawing near
Every road we took, every laugh we shared
Turns to something we can keep anywhere

We come alive when the weekend begins
Hearts wide open, surrounded by friends
Chasing the sunset, holding on tight
Making these memories last through the night
For love, for life, for the freedom we found
Till morning lays gold on the edge of the town
We come alive, and wherever we go
We carry this summer wherever we roam

Wherever we roam
We carry this summer wherever we go
