Lyrics
[Intro] (oh, watermelon nights) (oh-oh) [Verse 1] Rooftop lights, we lost track of time Somebody's playing songs from last July You poured watermelon juice, ice clinking in the jar Watermelon cold and pink, held it out beneath the stars [Pre-Hook] Nobody's watching the sky change Nobody wants this night to fade Keep the pitcher a little closer Let the summer pull us closer [Hook] This is a watermelon night Sky gold, then blue, then pure white We don't know whose names we'll still say next year So stay right here, stay right here This is a watermelon night Everybody laughing, nobody shy Pink juice shining on our lips Summer, hold the clock a little longer [Verse 2] Barefoot on the hood of somebody's car Passing that pitcher underneath the stars Red juice running down our arms You said this feels like ours to keep I said, "Let's stay up till the city falls asleep" [Pre-Hook] Nobody's watching the sky change Nobody wants this night to fade Keep the pitcher a little closer Let the summer pull us closer [Hook] This is a watermelon night Sky gold, then blue, then pure white We don't know whose names we'll still say next year So stay right here, stay right here This is a watermelon night Everybody laughing, nobody shy Pink juice shining on our lips Summer, hold the clock a little longer [Bridge] Years from now, I'll still taste the cold Sweet pink summer against the dark Your laughter floating through the night Like a little fire we carried in our hearts One more pour before the lights come on One more song before the morning starts I want a hundred more nights like this With the whole world fading out around us [Build] (oh, watermelon nights) (don't let it go) (stay right here) (oh-oh) [Final Hook] This is a watermelon night Sky gold, then blue, then pure white We don't know whose names we'll still say next year So stay right here, stay right here This is a watermelon night Everybody laughing, nobody shy Pink juice shining on our lips Summer, hold the clock a little longer This is a watermelon night Hands up underneath the city lights If tomorrow takes us somewhere new Tonight belongs to me and you [Outro] (watermelon nights) (stay right here) (pink against the dark) (oh-oh)
