lyrics

(a dashboard clock blinks 02:00)
(and the sky is still gold)

We drove the coast in your old car
The radio was mostly rain
June up north, no single star
The sun refused to leave again
(sommarnatt, sommarnatt)

You fell asleep at Kilometer nine
I memorized the light
(the light, the light)

Meet me at the midnight sun motel
Meet me at the midnight sun motel
Where the night forgot to fall
Meet me at the midnight sun motel
Meet me at the midnight sun motel
(room fourteen, room fourteen)

The pool was closed, we climbed the gate
Your wet hair silver in the glow
We said forever, we said wait
We said the things that summers know
(and then let go)

Meet me at the midnight sun motel
Meet me at the midnight sun motel
Where the night forgot to fall
Meet me at the midnight sun motel
Meet me at the midnight sun motel

I went back last July alone
The sign still buzzes pink and teal
(vacancy, vacancy)
Some light gets in your bones
And never stops being real

Meet me at the midnight sun motel
Meet me at the midnight sun motel
Where the night forgot to fall
Meet me at the midnight sun motel

(02:00... still gold)
(sommarnatt...)
