Kissing your ice cream

Verse 1

You said the summer was ending,

but the moon stayed warm.

We walked through broken streetlights

like lovers in a storm.

Your vanilla was melting

down your silver ring,

and I was too afraid to ask

what tomorrow means.

Chorus

I was kissing your ice cream,

tasting the cold on your lips.

A little sweet disaster

in the neon eclipse.

You laughed like a movie

I had already seen,

and I fell through the evening

kissing your ice cream.

Verse 2

The cars became comets,

the sidewalk turned blue.

Every ordinary moment

felt impossible with you.

You held the cone like a secret,

like the world could disappear.

I wanted one more second

before the future got here.

Chorus

I was kissing your ice cream,

tasting the cold on your lips.

A little sweet disaster

in the neon eclipse.

You laughed like a movie

I had already seen,

and I fell through the evening

kissing your ice cream.

Bridge

Strawberry ghosts

on your fingertips,

sugar and thunder,

summer apocalypse.

Final Chorus

I was kissing your ice cream,

while the stars turned green.

The past came back smiling

from a vending machine.

You were almost forever,

I was almost clean,

lost in the sweetness

of kissing your ice cream.
