Lyrics
We sang in the trees like we owned the breeze
Carving our names in invisible leaves
The world was asleep, but we made it wake
In nights too warm for hearts to break
We were loud just to matter
Cracking shells in the dark
Didn't know we were scattered
Like glowbugs losing spark
The summer hummed where your shadow lay
Soft as the sun at the end of the day
We kissed in the hush of the amber air
Like secrets we thought the dusk would spare
The summer hummed where our silence grew
In spaces the fireflies flickered through
You looked at me like a truth half-spoken
And I held you close like a thing already broken
Beneath every porch was a symphony
Of life in gold — all pretending to be
More than the echoes we left in the air
The louder we were, the more we were there
Wings beat like regret
As the daylight withdrew
Even noise forgets
What it screamed into
The summer hummed where your shadow lay
Soft as the sun at the end of the day
We kissed in the hush of the amber air
Like secrets we thought the dusk would spare
The summer hummed where our silence grew
In spaces the fireflies flickered through
You looked at me like a truth half-spoken
And I held you close like a thing already broken
One day you'll walk outside and hear nothing
Not even the hum of who we used to be
And maybe you'll miss us — or maybe you won't
But we sang like it meant something
Even if it don't
Oh
The summer hummed where your shadow lay
Soft as the sun at the end of the day
We kissed in the hush of the amber air
Like secrets we thought the dusk would spare
The summer hummed where our silence grew
In spaces the fireflies flickered through
You looked at me like a truth half-spoken
And I held you close like a thing already broken
