Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your hoodie on my chair
The window cracked again
Fan blades on the wall
Spin slow like back then

You left a peach tea stain
On the book I never read
Now I catch your name
In the sheets on my bed

[Pre-Chorus]
And it hits me soft
When the day goes gold
Your laugh comes back
Like a song I know

[Chorus]
Sunbleached reply
Come back, come back
Sunbleached reply
I’m stuck in that flash

You were my half-lit summer
My front porch truth
Sunbleached reply
I still read you

[Verse 2]
Old skate marks on the deck
Chalk dust on your shoes
Your ring left a circle
On the nightstand groove

I tried to pack it up
Fold it neat and small
But every little thing
Leans your way by fall

[Pre-Chorus]
And it hits me soft
When the day goes gold
Your laugh comes back
Like a song I know

[Chorus]
Sunbleached reply
Come back, come back
Sunbleached reply
I’m stuck in that flash

You were my half-lit summer
My front porch truth
Sunbleached reply
I still read you

[Bridge]
If you call me now
I’ll know that tone
The one that made
A house feel home

So leave one line
On my screen tonight
Let it burn slow
Then fade to white

[Chorus]

Come back, come back

I’m stuck in that flash

You were my half-lit summer
My front porch truth

I still read you
