(It’s way too hot right now… just a breeze, please…)
The sun is pressing on my skin
Won’t let go, it’s pulling me in
An afternoon I want to escape
Even time feels heavy and slow
My coffee doesn’t cool at all
Even my breath feels like fire
But then I think of you
That cool voice, your crystal-clear eyes
I didn’t realize
Back when you were near
The wind, the warmth
Everything felt perfect
You’re cooler than now
In this heat, I need your touch
When you smile
The world freezes for a second
Cooler than now
You make me forget the sweat
In a breathless kind of day
You were my air conditioner moment
The windows open, but no breeze comes
Even the fan gave up tonight
All I need is to hear your voice
It’s cooler than the wind outside
Just waiting for your little text
Fingers close to something real
The drop in temperature I feel
I now know—that was always you
This hot, long season
Makes me remember
How you alone
Could chill the whole world down
You’re cooler than now
When the heat is too much to bear
Just the thought of you
Sends cold emotions through the air
Cooler than now
Let the world burn, I don’t care
If you’re with me
Like shade walking right beside me
You’re cooler than now
Even colder than the first sip of iced water
Your laugh alone
Was the breeze in my hottest summer
Cooler than now
Even now, in this very moment
Thinking of you
Helps me breathe just a little bit better
(You're the memory that cools this summer down…)
