Let Babylon Burn - Summer Love Moved On

Mm
Some summers leave the calendar
But nah leave the skin
June had both hands on the room
Too hot to move from the couch
A peach sweating on the counter, knife still clean beside it
Your bare heel against my leg
Them fine little hairs on your arm turning gold in the light
Yuh said
“Don't make plans tonight.” so
I didn't
Back then tonight felt big enough
Salt on your shoulder
Sand in the sheets
Your mouth tasting like sea and something sweet
Mi never thought about september
Neither did you
Or so
I believed
Summer love moved on...
Ohh...
Moved on before the heat did
Sun still burning pon your skin
While something in yuh already leaving
No fight
Nah no wicked wrong
Just your hand holding mine a little less long
Summer love moved on ohh, summer love
And mi stayed warm too long
By August
Yuh started taking everything home charger earrings
That book beside the bed
Used to leave half yuh life at mine
Then one night
Yuh forgot nothing
We still went down to the water
Still laughed when the cold hit our feet
But your fingers found mine less and less
No speech
No scene
Just space
Quietly learning where to sit between us
Yuh stopped saying “next week”
Like it belonged to we
Mi heard it
Just didn't know yet what
I was hearing
Summer love moved on leave it...
Leave it
Before the heat did
Sand still hiding in the back of the car
Your shape still warm beside me in the sheets
No villain
Nah no grand goodbye
Just you stepping forward
Me still somewhere in july
Summer love moved on ohh, summer gone
And mi stayed warm too long
Mi never wanted your wildness smaller nah
Never wanted to hold yuh still
I loved how you could make a quiet room feel alive
How something in me ran beside you
Maybe that's what
I remember most
Not losing you just
How free
I felt before
I knew
You were leaving
Summer gone
But the heat stay
Yuh gone
Still the salt stay
Time move...
Mi know...
Mi know
Heart slow sometimes
Summer love moved on...
Ohh...
Moved on before the tan did
Before the salt left the towel
Before that pale peach stain left the table
You were already somewhere else
While the whole damn coast still looked like us
No blame now
Nah no asking why
Some things leave clean
Some warmth take longer to die
Summer love moved on and eventually
Mi moved too mostly
Now when
June puts both hands on the room
I let it
Warm wind through the window
Gold light on my arms
And sometimes
For half a second
I remember your mouth tasting like summer but
I don't call your name
Not anymore
Summer love moved on
Mm-mm still
Mi leave the window open
