(Verse 1)
I found a photograph from July
Before the summer said its last goodbye
You had your hair down, catching the breeze
We were so careless, doing what we please
Now I’m just staring at a crowded street
Wishing for the sand beneath my feet
The autumn wind is starting to blow
But my mind is stuck where the palm trees grow
(Chorus)
Caught up in this tropical nostalgia
Thinking 'bout the way it used to be
Every time the night gets colder
I can feel your warmth all over me
Take me back to that endless summer
Where we didn't care about tomorrow
Now I'm living in the memory
Drowning out the winter sorrow
(Verse 2)
We used to talk until the sun came up
Drinking cheap wine from a paper cup
The ocean waves were singing our song
Back when we felt like we could do no wrong
Now you're a thousand miles away from here
But in the dark, your voice is still so clear
I close my eyes and I’m back on the coast
Holding onto what I miss the most
(Chorus)
Caught up in this tropical nostalgia
Thinking 'bout the way it used to be
Every time the night gets colder
I can feel your warmth all over me
Take me back to that endless summer
Where we didn't care about tomorrow
Now I'm living in the memory
Drowning out the winter sorrow
(Bridge)
Can we find a way to go back in time?
To the days when your hand was in mine?
Or is it just a ghost in my head?
A beautiful story that we left unsaid?
(Chorus)
Caught up in this tropical nostalgia
Thinking 'bout the way it used to be
Every time the night gets colder
I can feel your warmth all over me
Take me back to that endless summer
Where we didn't care about tomorrow
Now I'm living in the memory
Drowning out the winter sorrow
[Spoken Outro]
Tropical nostalgia...
It keeps holding on.
Where the sun never sets...
Yeah, we left it unsaid.
