(Intro, Surf Guitar Reverb, Vinyl Crackle, Ambient Swells)
Golden, golden summer days
Shining through the morning haze
(Verse 1, Twangy Surf Guitar, Vinyl Pops, Lo-fi Strings)
Woke up with the sun in my eyes
Dreams still dancing in blue skies
You were humming our old song
Felt like nothing could go wrong
(Chorus, Washed-out Guitar Layers, Warm Reverb, Tape Flutter)
Oh, we laughed and ran through the fields
Hearts wide open, no need for shields
Golden summer days, stay awhile
With your hand in mine, I can’t help but smile
(Verse 2, Rollicking Drums, Slight Vinyl Warble, Guitar Echoes)
Crickets singing soft lullabies
Clouds like ships in lazy disguise
Your hair caught the breeze just right
Everything felt warm and bright
(Chorus, Surf Beat Drive, Layered Harmonies, Lo-fi Swells)
Oh, we laughed and ran through the fields
Hearts wide open, no need for shields
Golden summer days, don’t you fade
You and I, in the sun, unafraid
(Bridge, Retro Filters, Guitar Tremolo, Distant Echo FX)
Time moves fast, like the sea to the shore
But these days, I’ll always adore
Simple and sweet, like strawberry wine
Frozen forever in the back of my mind
(Chorus, Reverb Splash, Harmonic Surf Lead, Worn Tape Feel)
Oh, we laughed and ran through the fields
Hearts wide open, no need for shields
Golden summer days, stay awhile
With your hand in mine, I can’t help but smile
(Outro, Vinyl Fade-out, Slow Guitar Rings, Lo-fi Drop)
Golden summer… days…
