I’m covered in bruises from my summer job
You’re covered in bruises from the worry you got
I’m working late nights, you work in the day
Last year this time we were in a summer haze
Texting after clubbing, late at night
I missed the last bus I said, but I lied
Sleeping next to you felt so new
Our bodies sticking together, stick to my girl like glue
Second summer, second, second summer
Getting anxious, will there be another?
Now we're writing to each other on lunch breaks
Talking bout last August made my heart ache
Were we happier then? I can still recall
But through the lens of nostalgia I can't see it all
Shy breakfasts on your balcony
Not thinking about what we could be
Both trying to get closer and trying to stall
Knowing that becoming something makes a higher fall
Second summer, second, second summer
Getting anxious, will there be another?
For all those years intellectualising,
Always holding back but never realising
Surface-level is confusing and boring
I want you for real and I want the whole thing
Unlocking your door with my own key
Laughing when a ferry comes by when you're inside me
Waking up together to days good and bad
Through it all I wanna be your comrade
