Lyrics
[verse]
Backseat windows down on a road that goes nowhere
Screaming out the words like the night doesn't care
You're a secret I keep folded in my chest
Some kind of gorgeous, cruelest kind of test
[chorus]
It's a cruel, cruel season, loving out of reach
Sneaking every kiss like a thief on the beach
I say I'm fine but I'm drowning in the heat
Cruel summer, and it's got me on repeat
Cruel summer, burning underneath
I'd walk through fire just to reach the shade of you
[verse]
Telling all my friends it's nothing, it's just fun
But my heart keeps sprinting like it's never done
You call at midnight and I answer every time
Hiding this whole thing like it's some kind of crime
[chorus]
It's a cruel, cruel season, loving out of reach
Sneaking every kiss like a thief on the beach
I say I'm fine but I'm drowning in the heat
Cruel summer, and it's got me on repeat
Cruel summer, burning underneath
I'd walk through fire just to reach the shade of you
[bridge]
I don't wanna wait till the leaves turn gold
I don't wanna keep this a secret I hold
Tell me that you're mine before the season ends
Before the cruel summer bends
[chorus]
It's a cruel, cruel season, loving out of reach
Sneaking every kiss like a thief on the beach
I say I'm fine but I'm drowning in the heat
Cruel summer, and it's got me on repeat
Cruel summer, burning underneath
I'd walk through fire just to reach the shade of you
