Pre-Chorus We chased the wind through the tall green grass, Certain those days would always last. Chorus Summer was bigger when I was a child, The rivers ran farther, the world ran wild. Every evening stretched into forever, Golden and slow like it knew no weather. Summer was bigger, soft and free, Maybe it lives now only in me. Verse 2 Old bicycles and scraped-up knees, Secrets carried by the trees, The sun would linger past its time, Painting everything in amber light. Bridge Now the years move quicker than the clouds, And the silence feels a little louder. But sometimes in the August air, I find that younger heart still there. Chorus Summer was bigger when I was a child, The rivers ran farther, the world ran wild. Every evening stretched into forever, Golden and slow like it knew no weather. Summer was bigger, soft and free, Maybe it lives now only in me. Outro And when the daylight starts to fade, I walk the paths we used to make. The season shrank, or so it seems— But summer still survives in dreams.
