Deep Summer Days

Sand still stuck On the floor of my car Laughing in traffic Eating melt-fast bars Sunblock streaks On your thrift-store dress Bare feet on the dashboard You say This is a mess Summer days You fade but the feeling stays Polaroids in my mind’s hallway Even when the sky turns gray Summer days You blur but my heartbeat plays Same old song in a brand-new way Guess a part of me Is stuck in those summer days Late-night walk To the all-night stand You drew a smiley face On the back of my hand Ceiling fan hum Through the open door You talked about leaving But fell asleep on the floor Summer days You fade but the feeling stays Polaroids in my mind’s hallway Even when the sky turns gray Summer days You blur but my heartbeat plays Same old song in a brand-new way Guess a part of me Is stuck in those summer days
