[Verse 1]
Summer days, melting through the hourglass
Cherry stained my lips as the minutes pass
I'm collecting pits and bottle caps
Friends out taking a piss in the prairie grass
We're like the fairy queens of the river rats
Wearing gas station sunglasses, and hats
Drinking slushies and late morning glory
They're so disgusting it's somehow obligatory
[Chorus]
And we used to dream, always
We dreamt all day and night
That we would find a way to be
A way to be alright
And we used to run, we hid
Never did know how to be with ourselves
But we're staring at the sun
And we finally did
[Verse 2]
Summer days, the smell of pine and sage
Dancing like a buffoon as the mediocre band plays
A tune I like enough to stay
Laughing with you in the golden hour haze
You read my palm and I guess I'm gonna have a great life
You say my spirit animal's a dragonfly
We're like the fairy queens of the river rats
Jumped off a cliff holding hands, and I love you for that
[Chorus]
And we used to dream, always
We dreamt all day and night
That we would find a way to be
A way to be alright
And we used to run, we hid
Never did know how to be with ourselves
But we're staring at the sun
And we finally did
We were staring at the sun (the sun, the sun)
We were staring at the sun (the sun, the sun)
We were staring at the sun (the sun, the sun, the sun, the sun)
