Palmwine Polaroids

[Intro]

Old cassette on the dashboard

Sun-faded photo in my hand

You laughing in that yellow sundress

Sand still hiding in your sandals

[Verse 1]

We were broke

But the breeze was rich

Plastic chairs

Little blue kiosk

Palmwine sweating in a glass cup

You said, “Slow dance, this my song”

[Chorus]

Take me back to that roadside summer

Where your name stayed sweet on my tongue

Every laugh like a vinyl stutter

Skipping, but we kept singing on

You leaned in, said, “Baby, don’t rush time”

Still hear your voice in the night so clear

Take me back to that roadside summer

I keep rewinding us right here (oh yeah)

You drew hearts

On my forearm

Low light flicker through the curtains

Your head sleeping on my chest

[Chorus]

Take me back to that roadside summer

Where your name stayed sweet on my tongue

Every laugh like a vinyl stutter

Skipping, but we kept singing on

You leaned in, said, “Baby, don’t rush time”

Still hear your voice in the night so clear

Take me back to that roadside summer

I keep rewinding us right here (hey!)

[Bridge]

Now the city moves faster

Screens glow, nights feel colder

But one small scratch on that record

And I’m nineteen, with your head on my shoulder

[Chorus]

Take me back to that roadside summer

Where your name stayed sweet on my tongue

Every laugh like a vinyl stutter

Skipping, but we kept singing on

You leaned in, said, “Baby, don’t rush time”

Still hear your voice in the night so clear

Take me back to that roadside summer

I keep rewinding us right here
