1. Mirage

Mirage

(verse 1)

this heat wave has definitely been a hot one

I'm ready for summer to be done

I shouldn't be like that

where will we go today, what will we do?

we're just laying on the porch amongst the mosquitos

is that an oasis I see up the road just ahead?

or my mind playing tricks on me again?

I just want to watch fireworks together

and celebrate our independence

and whatever else summer sends us

(chorus)

mirage, you can't see it until it fades away up close

we have nothing left to lose

let's follow it anyway

the closer we get, the farther away we seem to be

I don't care even if it's hot

I'll follow you any time, anywhere

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

dive into the sapphire spring of water

you're sunburned and I'm just burned out

we need to cool off we're too heated

keep the romance on the stove though

I like to enjoy it warm

we tell each other ghost stories

while we're out camping

I hope you don't mind if I sleep closer to you

when we ride in your truck

the windows are down and the music is turned up

we're just enjoying our youth, right?

(chorus)

mirage, the palace I saw turned out to be sandcastle

our spirits are high, can you guess the song I whistle?

there's nothing on the TV, we may as well watch the sunset

my ice cream melted in my hand, you try to lick it off, so lovely

(end chorus)

(bridge)

you're catching my butterflies

falling asleep under the shade tree

I steal glances, but pretend the sun is in my eyes

ice cream of strawberries and peach

while going for a walk on the beach

matching pastel shirts and outdoor concerts

(chorus)

mirage, you can't see it until it fades away up close

we have nothing left to lose

let's follow it anyway

the closer we get, the farther away we seem to be

I don't care even if it's hot

I'll follow you any time, anywhere

(end chorus)
