[English]

No nightmares when you can still see the light

Can't find me, I'm not in the city tonight

I like your playlist, boy, turn it up a little louder

Road's empty, so you drive a little faster

Ain't taken nothing tonight, but I'm feeling so high

Show my tan lines, low rise, rooftop down

It's golden out all the time

It's the midnight sun, kissed skin under the red sky

Laying on your chest like this

Hold me like the pebbles in your hands, initials in the sand, yeah

Summer isn't over yet

Skinny-dipping with your heart out, it's my favorite part

Now we ain't gotta tell no one

A never ending midnight sun

A never ending midnight sun

Connected, I'm so in touch with it all

You feel protected by the moon and the stars

I'm walking barefoot, feel the grass in between my toes

Bombshell, wind in my hair, baby, let it blow, yeah

It's been a while since I cried over something so nice (so nice)

Show my tan lines, low rise, rooftop down

It's golden out all the time (all the time)

It's the midnight sun, kissed skin under the red sky

Laying on your chest like this (ah)

Hold me like the pebbles in your hands, initials in the sand, yeah

Summer isn't over yet

Skinny-dipping with your heart out, it's my favorite part

Now we ain't gotta tell no one (shh)

A never ending midnight sun

A never ending midnight sun

A never ending midnight sun

A never ending midnight sun
