lyrics

Midsommar (Milligan/Acuña)

Remember when our new voices and small choices
could keep the thunder and cloud rumbles away?
Every day we’d find something, while shadow jumping and running off thru
fields to find a way to make the summer stay

And when the rain fell we’d stretch out our hands
And watch the dots collect to cool the morning sand

Hold on to those days – they’re never far away, when the noise is too great
Hold on to those days – when the noise is too great, they’re never far away

And in the evenings we would build a rocket, a silver missile
on secret missions to take us to the moon
dreaming of our crater hopping on frozen footprints and walkie-talkies
and shiny weightless suits, like falling on balloons

And when the night fell, we’d stretch out our feet
And watch the window glow from moonlight thru the trees

Hold on to those days – they’re never far away, when the noise is too great
Hold on to those days – when the noise is too great, they’re never far away

Looking back on days of magic when we pulled down the stars
Remembering our careless habits we laugh of smoke and sparks
And lightning in a jar, and playing after dark
We ran away from cars with boldness in our hearts
