(VERSE I)
We were standing on the edge of summer
with our heels still treading winter
with our fingers curled around the idea of fallen leaves.
We put our deepest secrets inside of bottles so very green
We were taller, we felt taller than buildings,
yeah we were taller, we felt taller than buildings…

(VERSE II)
And like a boat out on the bay we sailed away,
into the open, into the unknown all-knowing tides.
And we lost all track of time.
We were taller, we felt taller than buildings,
yeah we were taller, we felt taller than buildings…

(CHORUS)
Come on now and don’t forget me,
You promised, you promised you wouldn’t regret me
I know, I know it gets hard sometimes (ah-ah-ah-ah)
But for you, maybe I could try,
(ah-ah-ah-ah)
But for you maybe I could try…

(VERSE III)
We were falling off the edge of summer,
with our thoughts all out of winter,
with hair in tangles of sun, salt, and sand.
We stood in awe as we watched the lightning strike the land.
We were taller, we felt taller than buildings,
yeah we were taller, we felt taller than buildings…

(CHORUS)
Come on now and don’t forget me,
You promised, you promised you wouldn’t regret me
I know, I know it gets hard sometimes (ah-ah-ah-ah)
But for you, maybe I could try,
(ah-ah-ah-ah)
But for you maybe I could try…

(VERSE IV)
We were sitting on the edge of summer
with our toes dipped into winter,
with our backs towards the sun and towards the sky.
We never knew how we could ever say goodbye.
We were taller, we felt taller than buildings,
yeah we were taller, we felt taller than buildings…
