Back in the Summer

[Verse 1] We found each other by the old parade gate Mara had the same quick laugh, just a little more loud Jon brought the names of every band we used to debate And luis knew the shortcut through the sun-warmed crowd [Pre-Chorus] One hand wave and the years fell back Like we’d only missed a song [Chorus] Here we are, back in the summer Singing every word we know Passing stories through the crowd now Watching all our old jokes grow Here we are, still together Same bright spark, a little wiser When the last set’s done, we’ll carry it home Here we are, back in the summer [Verse 2] We traded stories by the second-stage sign Who got lost in ’09, who danced till the gates closed Mara remembered that ridiculous rhyme Jon swore the whole front row sang it in the wrong key, though [Pre-Chorus] Then the brass hit, and luis spun around Like the years had missed a beat [Chorus] Here we are, back in the summer Singing every word we know Passing stories through the crowd now Watching all our old jokes grow Here we are, still together Same bright spark, a little wiser When the last set’s done, we’ll carry it home Here we are, back in the summer [Bridge] Maybe next year, different town Different bands and different plans But we’ve got this chorus pinned between us And the names still fit our hands [Final chorus] Here we are, back in the summer Singing every word we know Passing stories through the crowd now Watching all our old jokes grow Here we are, still together Same bright spark, a little wiser When the last set’s done, we’ll carry it home Here we are, back in the summer [Outro] Same bright spark, a little wiser Here we are, back in the summer
