Lyrics
[verse]
Golden hour falling on the water's edge
Your hand in mine, we're standing on the ledge
Summer never lasts as long as we pretend
But I don't want to think about the end
[verse]
Dancing barefoot in the fading light
Holding onto something that don't feel right
Every laugh we share has a shadow in it too
A kind of sadness wrapped in summer blue
[chorus]
This is our summertime sadness, sweet and slow
Holding on to feelings we don't want to let go
Kiss me while the sun is sinking in the sea
This is summertime sadness, you and me
[verse]
The photographs will fade but the feeling stays
Every warm goodbye still haunts these longer days
I know the season's turning, I know it's time to part
But summer left its fingerprints all over my heart
[chorus]
This is our summertime sadness, sweet and slow
Holding on to feelings we don't want to let go
Kiss me while the sun is sinking in the sea
This is summertime sadness, you and me
[bridge]
Maybe it was never meant to stay
Maybe love just lives inside a summer day
But I'll keep the warmth of it inside my chest
Even when the leaves begin to rest
[chorus]
This is our summertime sadness, sweet and slow
Holding on to feelings we don't want to let go
Kiss me while the sun is sinking in the sea
This is summertime sadness, you and me
