Verse 1:
Woke up to the sun, shining bright
Got my shades on, feeling alright
But inside my head, a different fight
Chasing dreams, but I can't take flight
Chorus:
Oh, it’s a summer high, dancing in the glow
But deep in my soul, where the shadows grow
Feel the rush, let it spin and sway
While the world spins bright, I’m fading away
Verse 2:
Friends all laughing, sipping on ice
Trying to forget, but it’s hard to be nice
In this paradise, where the heart breaks
Catching waves, but it always aches
Chorus:
Oh, it’s a summer high, dancing in the glow
But deep in my soul, where the shadows grow
Feel the rush, let it spin and sway
While the world spins bright, I’m fading away
Bridge:
Caught in the tide, I’m drifting alone
A sea of colors, but I feel so numb
Painted skies, but the storm rolls in
Wishing for peace, but I can't find the win
Chorus:
Oh, it’s a summer high, dancing in the glow
But deep in my soul, where the shadows grow
Feel the rush, let it spin and sway
While the world spins bright, I’m fading away
Outro:
So here’s to the sun, and the nights that we chase
Finding the light, in a bitter embrace
Summer’s a high, but it never stays
Fighting the shadows, lost in the waves.
