Verse
Sun hanging high on a slow July,
Salt on your skin and those ocean eyes,
You said you might head out ‘fore the day gets gone,
Beat that traffic back before too long.
Pre-Chorus
That westbound sky’s starting to turn gold,
Girl, don’t go—not yet, just hold.
Chorus
We got a cooler full of cold Coronas,
Radio playing, got a whole crowd on us,
That old guitar cutting through the noise,
Barefoot girls and the beach-town boys,
Just a little longer, don’t go yet—
Stay for the sunset.
Verse
Now that sun’s sinking low on the waterline,
Speakers turned up, we’re losing track of time,
You’re spinning around in that firelight haze,
Like you found you a reason to stay.
Pre-Chorus
Stars coming out as the daylight dies,
Girl, don’t go—not yet, stay tonight.
Chorus
We got a cooler full of cold Coronas,
Bonfire burning, got a whole crowd on us,
That old radio still playing its songs,
Hands in the air, everybody sings along,
Just a little longer, don’t go yet—
Stay for the sunset.
Bridge
Right when that sun hit the edge of the sea,
You raised your drink and leaned into me,
That line in the sky where the daylight fades,
Turned into a night we didn’t wanna waste.
Chorus
We had a cooler full of cold Coronas,
That night turned into a wild summer on us,
That old radio playing soft and low,
Last sparks flying in the firelight glow,
Just a little longer, I’ll never forget —
You stayed for the sunset.
Outro
You stayed for the sunset.
