00:09We met underneath a July sunset, you were laughing with your friends
00:14I wrote your number on a napkin, like I knew it wouldn't end
00:18We bought cheap drinks at the corner store, and watched the fireworks explode
00:23You said don't make this complicated, so I promised I wouldn't mind
00:27But every time you looked at me, I felt my whole world move
00:32We were young enough to call it nothing, old enough to know the truth
00:36We had played for the hearts in July, drawing forever underneath the arms
00:40As you said we'd never let it be, the summer always takes a little weight
00:45I don't know if I'd feel like you, a cold song turned to sky that blue
00:50We were burning bright, we were passing through, came for hearts in July
00:54We wrote our names beside the river, underneath the broken streetlight
01:00You kissed me like a promise, then disappeared before sunrise
01:04I kept the napkin in my bedroom, for a year or maybe two
01:09Funny how something made a paper, can still feel heavy because of you
01:14I don't hate the way it ended, I just wish it had stayed true
01:18As memories are meant to last, they're only meant to change you
01:22We had played for the hearts in July, drawing forever underneath the arms
01:27As you said we'd never let it be, the summer always takes a little weight
01:32Now everyone that feels like you, every old song turns the sky that blue
01:36We were burning bright, we were passing through, came for hearts in July
01:40Maybe someday I'll drive that road and smile instead of missing you
01:45Maybe I'll love somebody else, the way I once believed I could with you
01:50But tonight the moon is shining, I'm the place where we once stood
01:54For a moment I don't want forever, I just want back now
01:59We had played for hearts in July, drawing forever underneath the arms
02:03As you said we'd never let it be, but some beautiful things are made to stay
02:09Now everyone that feels like you, every old song turns the sky that blue
02:13We were burning bright, we were passing through, came for hearts in July
02:17Every new paper hearts, summer rain, some loves leave, a beautiful stain
02:35As you said we'd never let it be, but some beautiful things are made to stay
