Better days are held in a photograph
Of summer escapes
Of daydreams and tourist traps
Take me back

I was never alone to carry the melody
It was never my own
It was always apart of me
Everything I need

You said the words and you didn't even speak
Baby let, let me down easy
I see the tide, it's coming to get me
And I don't know who you wanted me to be
I gave a lot, but never what you need
Winter comes, and summer forgets me

I know your face in millions of different ways
There's no escape from the memories of warmer days
Ones I won't erase

You said the words and you didn't even speak
Baby let, let me down easy
I see the tide, it's coming to get me
And I don't know who you wanted me to be
I gave a lot, but never what you need
Winter comes, and summer forgets me

Blind from the flash
I'm frozen in time
Everything was perfect
Everything was right

Now I'm lost in this world
All the colors seem wrong
Give it just a moment
Just a moment

You said the words and you didn't even speak
Baby let, let me down easy
I see the tide, it's coming to get me
And I don't know who you wanted me to be
I gave a lot, but never what you need
Winter comes, and summer forgets me

Summer days are held in a photograph
It's never the same
We can't go back...
