[Verse] Sunset on the corner where the crates are thin Peaches blush like secrets I never said Borrowed bag still smells of your last kiss Threadbare dreams in the heat of the sun’s slow bleed [Pre-Chorus] Paper wings, flutterin’ slow Wish I could trade this ache for glow [Chorus] Oh, summer hums in a rusted wire Bare feet on pavement, tired and light You left your shadow in a borrowed bag And I’m still carryin’ you in the heat of the night Oh, I’m still carryin’ you in the heat of the night [Verse] Vendor sings a tune I’ve never known Fruit skins drop like fallen prayers The air hangs thick with stories overgrown And I’m a ghost in a yellowed pair of shoes [Pre-Chorus] Paper wings, flutterin’ slow Wish I could trade this ache for glow [Chorus] Oh, summer hums in a rusted wire Bare feet on pavement, tired and light You left your shadow in a borrowed bag And I’m still carryin’ you in the heat of the night Oh, I’m still carryin’ you in the heat of the night [Bridge] Time slips through the seams of old blue jeans Like sugar on the tongue, sweet and gone If I could whisper back through the heat Would you still know me if I sang your name? [Outro] Peaches fade… Borrowed bags… Summer hums… I still… carry you… In the heat… of the night…
