Heatwave Confessions

[Intro]

Something in the air tonight feels a little too easy

[Verse 1]

July turns plans into suggestions.

Agendas blink, notes are changing.

Every rule comes with further questions,

every “never” switches expectations

I wake up swearing I’m in control,

I roll, then coffee’s waking up my soul

My confidence is slipping, it has other plans

The night comes.. slowly I’m changing my mind.

And you look like trouble in that harmless way,

a bad idea forms, I take a moment to delay

I know that kind of night that starts real easy

Then switches, turns into why you did this

[Pre-Chorus]

The heat doesn’t let us think twice,

got ideas running wild tonight,

So come a little closer, yeah

A little bit more, then smile,

we can blame it on the summer

We can believe that for a while.

[Chorus]

Heatwave

Say my name like you mean it now

Heatwave

Got me with my guard way down

One more touch, one more second

We gotta work it out

Heatwave

You got me staying somehow

[Verse 2]

Clothes stick. Thoughts wander.

Memories don’t stay in place.

We are walking to the border

The line is crossed, ain’t no cleaning up this mess

I say things I don’t mean to mean,

throw them out, then watch your face.

My lies pass for flirting

if it lands the right way.

You laugh like you know what I’m doing,

like you caught the spark before the flame,

and I act like it, but I’m only playing,

Yet I’m stepping closer anyway.

[Pre-Chorus]

I miss people I wouldn’t call.

I want things I wouldn’t choose.

I replay memories I want to forget

I want you now, you are my escape

So don’t make it serious,

don’t ask what this means,

let it live right here between us,

somewhere in the heat.

[Chorus]

Heatwave

Say my name like you mean it now

Heatwave

Got me with my guard way down

One more touch, one more second

We gotta work it out

Heatwave

You got me staying somehow

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, say it slow

Ooh, don’t let go

Ooh, summer got us talking

like we mean more than we know

[Verse 3]

We call it summer, call it weather,

It takes the guilt… the truth whatever.

The heat can turn a passing feeling

into something with an almost meaning.

I didn’t fix a single thing,

no lessons wrapped up tight,

I don’t know if it’ll sting

Or just it’ll cool into the night.

That’s the charm of it,

No starts, no clean ending, no grand schemes,

just you, me, July in between…

[Bridge]

Your look says stay,

my head says leave now,

but my body delays.

[Final Chorus]

Heatwave

Say my name like you mean it now

Heatwave

Got me with my guard way down

One more touch, one more second

We gotta work it out

Heatwave

You got me staying somehow

Heatwave

Late night, low light, moving close

Heatwave

One more look… there you go

Back to acting like it’s nothing

but you make it hard to let it go

Heatwave

You got me staying somehow
