Fifteen
Goldroom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a long time, wondering why
The summer smells like sin and wonder
Feels like it
Got inside of
A place and time
I dream about when
I get a walk in
I'll let us always
The summer sun I can't go back to
The touch of your skin, on my skin
Look away the sun's above us
Now you know we'll look back up in time

But we were only fifteen,
Fifteen we're floating through the slipstream
You're with me, we were only fifteen
Fifteen just floating through the slipstream

It's been a long time
Wondering why
The summer smells like sin and wonder
Feels like it
Got inside of
A place and time
I dream about when
I get a walk in
I'll let us always
The summer sun I can't go back to
The touch of your skin, on my skin
Look away the sun's above us
Now you know we'll look back up in time

But we were only fifteen,
Fifteen we're floating through the slipstream
You're with me, we were only fifteen
Fifteen just floating through the slipstream

We were only fifteen,
Fifteen we're floating through the slipstream
You're with me, we were only fifteen
Fifteen just floating through the slipstream





We were only fifteen,
Fifteen we're floating through the slipstream

I want us to always hold onto the memory of the summer sun that we can't experience again
