[Intro – bright jangly guitar riff, light shaker] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – warm acoustic guitar undercurrent, gentle snare tap] Lockers slamming down the hall Sunlight spills through gym wall We scribbled plans on bathroom stalls Counting days till summer calls [Pre-Chorus – rising vocal harmonies, subtle bassline] Bell rings, we hit the door Backpacks heavy with what’s in store No time to worry, no time to bore This is the year we ask for more [Chorus 1 – full band kick-in, catchy guitar hook] SP 23, we’re running free Parking lot sunsets, you and me Scuffed-up sneakers, radio loud Chasing dreams we haven’t found SP 23, our perfect scene No goodbyes, just in-between Memories we’ll keep for years This is the summer that disappears [Post-Chorus – wordless "ooh" harmonies, fading guitar strum] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – playful xylophone accent, steady drum beat] Late-night drives to the pier Sharing fries and cheap beer Talking ‘bout the ones we fear Growing up and getting clear [Pre-Chorus 2 – layered vocals, building bass] Fireflies glow in the grass We laugh till our sides feel past No clocks to watch, no rules to cast This is the night we make it last [Chorus 2 – amplified guitar, backing vocal call-and-response] SP 23, we’re wild and young Dancing under the neon sun Broken skateboards, tangled hair No one cares if we don’t care SP 23, our magic streak No deadlines, no week to week Footprints left in wet concrete This is the summer we’ll never meet [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, soft lead vocal] Lockers will be empty soon Hallways quiet, no more tune But we’ll carry this moon In every room we’ll ever bloom [Solo – jangly guitar solo, reverb-drenched, nostalgic tone] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full band with string accents, maximum energy] SP 23, we’re running free Parking lot sunsets, you and me Scuffed-up sneakers, radio loud Chasing dreams we haven’t found SP 23, our perfect scene No goodbyes, just in-between Memories we’ll keep for years This is the summer that disappears [Outro – fading guitar strum, soft shaker, final vocal harmony] SP 23, our summer song Carry it with you all life long
