THE SUMMER AIR

Retro-futuristic

Heatwaves dancing on the blacktop line
Mercury rising, everything’s fine
Aviators on to hide the stare
Static electricity in the summer air
The dashboard’s glowing in a digital blue
I’m shifting gears just to get back to you
The smell of salt and the burning tires
Feeding the fuel to our internal fires.

Analog pulses, heartbeats in sync
Standing on the edge, don't even blink
The city is a grid, the world is a loop
We’re flying high in this silver coupe.

Neon Coastline, drifting through the haze
Lost inside these violet summer days
Fading sunsets in a chrome-plated sky
We can live forever, never saying goodbye
Oh-oh, in the neon glow
Oh-oh, nowhere else to go.

Palm trees swaying like shadows in the dark
The engine’s humming, waiting for the spark
Side B is playing on the old cassette
Memories we haven't even made quite yet
The ocean is a mirror for the satellites
Reflecting all our dreams in the strobe lights
Window down, let the cool breeze in
This is where the real night begins.

Analog pulses, heartbeats in sync
Standing on the edge, don't even blink
The city is a grid, the world is a loop
We’re flying high in this silver coupe.

Neon Coastline, drifting through the haze
Lost inside these violet summer days
Fading sunsets in a chrome-plated sky
We can live forever, never saying goodbye
Oh-oh, in the neon glow
Oh-oh, nowhere else to go.

Time is just a glitch in the machine
Living in a VHS summer scene
Don’t hit eject, don't let the colors fade
Stay in the light that the neon made.

Neon Coastline, drifting through the haze
Lost inside these violet summer days
Fading sunsets in a chrome-plated sky
We can live forever, never saying goodbye
Oh-oh, in the neon glow
Oh-oh, nowhere else to go.
