Lyrics:
​Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty shores, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I’m thinking ‘bout your face
Wonderin’ if you’re home

But I can see you-
Blowing bubbles in the sun
You got your hair pulled back
and doc martens on, baby
I still smell you on, that blanket we laid on till dawn
After the girls of summer have gone

I never will regret those nights (those nights)
I wonder if it was a dream (a dream)
Remember how you called me lady?
Remember how I made you scream? (scream)
Now I don't understand what’s different about our love
But babe, I'm gonna have your back
Love ain’t nothing to be afraid of

I can see you-
Your ice cream dripping in the sun
your temporary tattoos and you’re
giving them to everyone
I can tell you my love will still be holding strong
After the girls of summer have gone

I heard your name today,
from a barista shouting in a coffee shop
I turned to look for you, just like I always do,
can’t stop, won’t stop
I thought i’d lost your number
Til I put that jacket on
Say anything, and I’ll come over
Holding up a stereo on your lawn

But I can see you-
Blowing bubbles in the sun
You got your hair pulled back
and doc martens on, baby
I still smell you on, that blanket we laid on till dawn
After the girls of summer have gone
​
I can see you-
Your ice cream dripping in the sun
your temporary tattoos and you’re,
giving them to everyone
I can tell you my love will still be holding strong
After the girls of summer have gone
