Summer Sentiments

Verse 1

The room is warm like a secret I forgot to tell,

gold on the floor, dust dancing by itself.

The fan keeps turning like it knows my name,

summer outside, but I'm caught in yesterday.

I got a glass half full of something I don't need,

a song playing low, but it's louder when I think.

Your laugh still lives in the corners of my mind,

like a photograph fading but refusing to die.

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder if you're looking at the same sky,

if the clouds ever make you stop and ask why.

If there's a moment when the world gets quiet too,

and somehow that quiet leads back to me and you.

Chorus

I miss you in the spaces between the seconds,

in the places where I thought I'd moved on.

I miss the way you made an ordinary evening

feel like a place I belonged.

I hope you're somewhere with your window open,

letting the same summer air touch your skin.

I hope there's a song that reminds you of my voice,

even if you don't know why it begins.

Verse 2

I'm sitting here watching the sunlight move slowly,

painting little memories across my walls.

Funny how a room can feel so empty

when it used to hold it all.

Your name is still hidden in my thoughts,

in every melody I try to write.

I wonder if you ever miss the little things,

like talking until we lost track of time.

Pre-Chorus

Maybe you're somewhere dreaming of tomorrow,

maybe you're laughing with somebody new.

But I still have these quiet little moments

where my heart runs back to you.

Chorus

I miss you in the spaces between the seconds,

in the places where I thought I'd moved on.

I miss the way you made an ordinary evening

feel like a place I belonged.

I hope you're somewhere with your window open,

letting the same summer air touch your skin.

I hope there's a song that reminds you of my voice,

even if you don't know why it begins.

Bridge

Maybe love isn't always a fire,

maybe sometimes it's the glow after rain.

Maybe it's knowing someone changed your life

even if they never come back the same.

And maybe one day when the world gets quiet,

you'll look at the stars like I do tonight.

Maybe you'll wonder if I'm thinking of you,

under the same moonlight.

Final Chorus

I'm still here,

in this little room with the sunlight falling,

holding onto words I never said.

I'm still here,

wondering if you're thinking about me

or if I'm just a memory you left.

So I'll let the afternoon pass slowly,

let the shadows stretch across the walls.

I'll keep a place for you in my heart,

even if you never call.

Outro

The summer fades, but the feeling stays,

some people leave, but they never really fade.

And somewhere out there, I hope you know,

someone still misses you more than you know.
