Like Summer Thunder

lyrics

Tourist town of hotels sprinkled on the sand
Where you mark the days by the color of your tan
You were working nights at a bar along the dock
I was never the same from the second our eyes locked
Long nights at the beach in the damp and heavy heat
No sound but our breathing beside the restless sea

And when we kissed the pounding in my heart
Could split the air like summer thunder
And the words we said almost crackled in the dark
Ringing out like summer thunder

That season never feels far out of reach
I still can taste the salty air between my teeth
Working double shifts and meeting up when we were done
Telling dreams and secrets until the morning sun
Now I walk in circles past the places we had gone
Staring at the faded signs that point at all we lost—oh-oh

And when we kissed the pounding in my heart
Could split the air like summer thunder
Sometimes the end is so close to the start
Like an echo of summer thunder

Under tattered blankets waiting for the dawn
You never know true bliss until you realize that It’s gone
If memories are just how your mind plays tricks on you
I’ll gladly let my mind play me like a fool

And when we kissed the pounding in my heart
Could split the air like summer thunder
And the words we said almost crackled in the dark
Ringing out like summer thunder

And when we kissed the pounding in my heart
Could split the air like summer thunder
Sometimes the end is so close to the start
Like an echo of summer thunder

Like summer thunder so loud and oh so deep
Like summer thunder that wakes you from your sleep
Like summer thunder so loud and oh so deep
Like summer thunder that wakes you from your sleep
