Tryna calm down
Stop freaking out

His fingers interlaced with mine

My barefeet, your streets
Sweatin' in the summer heat

Telling me it's okay

Late fights, late nights
Good nights or goodbyes

Sunsets, read texts
What do we do next

Blurred lines, stop signs
First times, pretty eyes

Girls chasing all the guys
