Summer's First Breath

[Verse 1] Sunlight spills across the platform floor Backpack leans against a weathered door I trace the edge of June against my skin The summer train is almost pulling in [Pre-Chorus] Empty lockers left behind in May Friends and lessons drifting far away Ticket hums, my heart begins to race New horizons waiting to embrace [Chorus] First stop, first dawn, first golden hour of June I chase the rails beneath a warmer moon The whistle calls, the doors begin to sing I'm chasing summer on a silver wing [Verse 2] Strangers smile in colors bright and bold Stories traded cheaper than the cold A paper map unfolds inside my hand Cities bloom like dunes of golden sand [Pre-Chorus] Notes I wrote inside a folded page Whisper softly of another age Engine drums the days I left behind Memories are gentler in my mind [Chorus] First stop, first dawn, first golden hour of June I chase the rails beneath a warmer moon The whistle calls, the doors begin to sing I'm chasing summer on a silver wing [Bridge] Somewhere between the leaving and the light I feel the season changing overnight The station fades, the city drifts in blue But every heartbeat says I'm almost through [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 3] Conductor waves, the platform slides away Skylines blur like watercolor in the day I close my eyes and feel the warm wind flow Where the summer tracks are lined with glow [Outro] First stop, first dawn, the journey has begun I'm riding summer, chasing every sun The whistle fades, but I am on my way To greet the morning of the longest day
