Lyrics
[verse]
Golden hour falling on your borrowed car
Movie kind of moment, wish it could go far
I know you're leaving before the credits roll
But I'll keep this frame of you inside my soul
[chorus]
Promise you'll still see me in the quiet after
Not the leaving, just the laughter
When you close your eyes years from tonight
Let me be the one you see in that light
[verse]
We were never meant to make it to forever
Just a burning summer, bright and clever
So let's not pretend that this will last
Let's just live inside this perfect, fleeting past
[chorus]
Promise you'll still see me in the quiet after
Not the leaving, just the laughter
When you close your eyes years from tonight
Let me be the one you see in that light
[bridge]
Someday you'll be older, somewhere far from here
Maybe you'll still hear this echo soft and clear
I don't need forever, just a moment true
Just to know I mattered once to you
[chorus]
Promise you'll still see me in the quiet after
Not the leaving, just the laughter
When you close your eyes years from tonight
Let me be the one you see in that light
