stayed a summer (fall version) 8.19.22

You'd be my firework, memory burned in my mind
You'd be my sneaking out, windows down midnight drive
I'd be your running late, made you wait Friday night
And I could say you were the right person, wrong time
You'd still be that Chesney song, still have your Texas T-shirt
Still smile when I hear your name, if we would've just stayed
A couple kids kissing in the front of that red 4Runner
Cherry Coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
Just a July goodbye
Instead of knowing how it ends, we would always get to wonder
Could've just stayed
The ones that got away for each other
If we would've just stayed a summer
We should've stayed a summer
Wouldn't know how bad we fight, two drinks in, 2am
Wouldn't know how good you lie, wouldn't know how jealous I get
Wouldn't hate that Chesney song or torn up that Texas T-shirt
It wouldn't hurt when I hear your name if would've just stayed
A couple kids kissing in the front of that red 4Runner
Cherry Coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
Just a July goodbye
Instead of knowing how it ends, we would always get to wonder
Could've just stayed
The ones that got away for each other
If would've just stayed a summer
We should've stayed a summer
Should've just, should've just
Should've just stayed a summer, mm-mmh
Could've just, could've just
Could've just stayed a summer
If we would've just stayed
A couple kids kissing in the front of that red 4Runner
Cherry Coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
Just a July goodbye
Instead of knowing how it ends, we would always get to wonder
Could've just stayed
The ones that got away for each other
If would've just stayed a summer
We should've stayed a summer
Should've been nothing more than a summer
