[Verse 1] Backyard moon, warm on your skin Ice in the cup, let the night begin Bare feet pressed to the old wood deck Your laugh hits hard, I ain't caught my breath Window screen with the screen door bend Radio low while the whole block blends You lean in close, say, "stay right here" And the whole world fades when you hold me near [Pre-Chorus] Move like that Don't rush me now Heat in the air We wear it out One more step Then the floor gives way I can feel it now I can feel that sway [Chorus] Summer nights, don't let go Summer nights, move slow Hold me close, let it ride Summer nights, all night (all night) Summer nights, don't let go Summer nights, move slow You and me on this wave Summer nights, we don't fade (we don't fade) [Verse 2] Lemon slice on the rim of the glass Your fingers leave a little trace on the brass Back porch lights cut a honey line You got that smile like you stole my time Socks on stone where the cold tile ends Every small touch makes the whole room bend No big words, just a steady stare And the summer keeps hanging in the air [Pre-Chorus] Move like that Don't rush me now Heat in the air We wear it out One more step Then the floor gives way I can feel it now I can feel that sway [Chorus] Summer nights, don't let go Summer nights, move slow Hold me close, let it ride Summer nights, all night (all night) Summer nights, don't let go Summer nights, move slow You and me on this wave Summer nights, we don't fade (we don't fade) [Bridge] Let the dark get soft Let the hours stretch I don't need the dawn Not yet, not yet Spin me once more Till the sky runs blue Summer on repeat When I'm next to you [Chorus] Summer nights, don't let go Summer nights, move slow Hold me close, let it ride Summer nights, all night (all night) Summer nights, don't let go Summer nights, move slow You and me on this wave Summer nights, we don't fade (we don't fade)
