July on the Mountain

[Verse] July was loud on the mountain But my birthday came too late They had wristbands, lights and music I had onions on a plate Couldn’t get past the entrance Couldn’t fake another year So I stayed back in the cold air Cooking love for everyone near [Pre Chorus] And I thought I was missing something But maybe I was already there Steam on my glasses Genting in my hair [Chorus] I was seventeen in borrowed weather Laughing like the night was mine Friends were dancing somewhere louder I was learning how to shine I was outside of the big thing But inside every memory July on the mountain Still kept a place for me [Verse] Somebody called from the doorway Somebody asked if food was done I was too young for the festival But old enough to be the one Who took the photos, held the jackets Made the jokes that stayed for years I didn’t need the main stage I had people I could hear [Pre Chorus] And I thought I was left behind But the night was kind to me Not every closed gate Means you’re not meant to be [Chorus] I was seventeen in borrowed weather Laughing like the night was mine Friends were dancing somewhere louder I was learning how to shine I was outside of the big thing But inside every memory July on the mountain Still kept a place for me [Bridge] I didn’t enter But I remember The lights, the cold, the car ride home I didn’t enter But I remember Not feeling all alone [Chorus] I was seventeen in borrowed weather Almost grown but not quite there Holding all the little moments Like a camera in the air I was outside of the big thing But inside every memory July on the mountain Still kept a place for me [Outro] July on the mountain Still kept a place for me
