Summer on Read

Blue light, late night

You know what you did

You sent a flame at 2 AM

Like summer never had to end

I watched your name light up my phone

Then let it disappear alone

You only want me when the city

Turns the ocean silver-blue

But I’m not waiting by the shoreline

Just to be convenient for you

Warm wind, cold heart

I can feel the distance start

One touch, one lie

Now I’m dancing past goodbye

I left your summer on read

Your little heart went straight to my head

You had your chance in the neon heat

Now I’m running where you can’t reach me

I left your summer on read

No more midnight words left unsaid

You can call, but I’m already gone

Shining brighter with the sunrise on

Cherry soda on my lips

Saltwater falling from my fingertips

You said forever like a dare

Then vanished with the evening air

I used to think your mixed-up signals

Meant there had to be a spark

Now I know you only love me

When you’re lonely after dark

Warm wind, cold heart

I can feel the distance start

One touch, one lie

Now I’m dancing past goodbye

I left your summer on read

Your little heart went straight to my head

You had your chance in the neon heat

Now I’m running where you can’t reach me

I left your summer on read

No more midnight words left unsaid

You can call, but I’m already gone

Shining brighter with the sunrise on

New dress, blue sky, no reply

You lost your place in my July

Cute excuse, bad timing

I’m too busy out here shining

No tears, no scene

You were almost something sweet

Now your name is just a shadow

Underneath the summer beat

Maybe I still taste the memory

Every time the warm rain falls

But missing you is not the same

As wanting you at all

I left your summer on read

Your little heart went straight to my head

You had your chance in the neon heat

Now I’m flying where you can’t reach me

I left your summer on read

Turned every goodbye into gold instead

You can call, but I’m already gone

Shining brighter with the sunrise on

Summer on read

Summer on read

You were late

And I moved on
