lyrics

Under the maple in the back
A picnic table with vintage placemats
we hung lanterns and lights

fresh cut grass perfumes the air
mosquitos bite but we don’t care
Summer solstice tonight

Lets synchronize our clocks
So not one moment gets lost
breathe the air enjoy the day

wrap your arms around my waist
Your lips like whiskey I can taste
There’s a warm breeze, a golden glow

we dance barefoot in the dirt
move together with the earth
I’m never gonna let this go

synchronize our clocks
So not one moment gets lost
breathe the air enjoy the day

it’s just too short, the time we have
once it’s gone you can’t get it back
don’t let the time slip away

Oh, we sway beneath your branches
Oh, we’re feeling oceans and avalanches

synchronize our clocks
So not one moment gets lost
breathe the air enjoy the day

it’s just too short, the time we have
once it’s gone you can’t get it back
don’t let the time slip away
