Summer Dress by Omar Musa Lyrics
[Chorus: Omar Musa & Amali Golden, Amali Golden]
You got your summer dress on, summer dress on
Summer dress on in the sun (Na-na-na-na)
You got your summer dress on, summer dress on
Summer dress on for me (Na-na-na-na)
You got your summer dress on, summer dress on
Summer dress on in the sun, I need you now (Na-na-na-na)
‘Cause it feels like we've only begun
[Verse 1: Omar Musa, Omar Musa & Amali Golden]
King Street like a runway when you walkin’ up it
Wearin’ white cotton and the whispers of your broken lovers
I'll give you all that space you covet, give you feelings undiscovered
When we reach our summit, still pass by
The places that we met, still taste you on my lips
Put a smile up on my face, it's such a trip
How lovesickness trips us up and we think we’ve learnt to cure it, and it makes us feel so clueless
But this feelin’ is a purist, I take it in
With every ounce of energy and hope I have
‘Cause a life unloved is a life unlived and in life we can’t go back
So I read the freckles on your face into a map
It was somethin’ so rare, and we both know that
[Chorus: Amali Golden]
I got my summer dress on, summer dress on
Summer dress on in the sun (La-la-la-la)
I got my summer dress on, summer dress on
Summer dress on for me (La-la-la-la)
There’s a world outside that I wanna see
So much bigger than you and me (La-la-la-la)
Dressed up to tell you that I gotta leave
It feels like I’ve only begun
[Verse 2: Omar Musa, Amali Golden]
What a tangled web we weave when our heart is on our sleeve
When it's deeper than emotion, and it’s more like a primal need
When you said that you had to leave, for a while I couldn't see
I was blinded by the tear drops turned into steam
A world you wanna see alone, right from the start when the seed was sewn
You felt you couldn’t grow
‘Cause I let my petty passion burn into a furnace
Weren’t the perfect versions of ourselves but it was worth it (It was worth it)
I wish you all the best, I wish you all success
I wish you love and laughter on the path you've made ahead
Is love the nearest thing to heaven that we get?
And it rippled to a wave like a white summer dress (La-la-la-la)
Deep down I still hoped that we could work
Set sail, adventure on the surface of the earth
But it's all about timin’ and the timin’ ain't right
I think it’s time for you to take flight, so goodbye
[Bridge: Omar Musa, Amali Golden]
Unpiece my candied heart, darling one
Dissolve it on your tongue
You might trip out for a second
Transported back to that summer we spent together
Remember how we swam underwater into a cave that lit up like a blue cathedral?
How you stripped off your cool and every song on the playlist hit the spot? (La-la-la-la)
We made love for hours
The last time I saw you walk in the room
I thought “She is a truth revealed only to me” (La-la-la-la)
Nowadays I only speak to you in dreams (La-la-la-la)
I finally understand what I should have back then
When you looked at me and said
[Chorus: Amali Golden]
I got my summer dress on, summer dress on
Summer dress on in the sun (La-la-la-la)
I got my summer dress on, summer dress on
Summer dress on for me (La-la-la-la)
There’s a world outside that I wanna see
So much bigger than you and me (La-la-la-la)
Dressed up to tell you that I gotta leave
It feels like I’ve only begun
You got your summer dress on, summer dress on
Summer dress on in the sun (Na-na-na-na)
You got your summer dress on, summer dress on
Summer dress on for me (Na-na-na-na)
You got your summer dress on, summer dress on
Summer dress on in the sun, I need you now (Na-na-na-na)
‘Cause it feels like we've only begun
