Intro
Ooo-wah, ooo-wah
Sha-la-la, shine on
Ooo-wah, ooo-wah
Chrome summer all night long
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba…
Verse
Woke up with the whole world buzzing
Little red numbers saying where I’ve been
Everybody’s feed keeps flowing
But I wanna feel that ocean wind
You pulled up in your beat-up ride
Silver wheels and a dashboard flame
Said, Put your whole damn phone on silent
And suddenly the world knew my name
Pre-Chorus
We got sparks in the stereo
Hot little hearts in overload
No GPS where we wanna go
Just follow the radio
Chorus
It’s a chrome summer, chrome summer
Shining like a satellite
We’re two little hearts in a steel-frame world
Trying to get the signal right
Oh, chrome summer, chrome summer
Molten moon in your eyes
Let the algorithm lose us, baby
We’re going offline tonight
Offline, offline
Yeah, we’re going offline tonight
Verse
Everybody’s got a hot take waiting
Everybody’s building a personal brand
We got no content worth creating
Just your fingers tangled up in my hand
There’s a freight train rolling through downtown
Throwing sparks like a meteor shower
And the old steel bridge makes a holy sound
When the midnight hits the hour
Pre-Chorus
We got bass in the boulevard
Cheap sunglasses, falling stars
No verification, no avatars
Just tell me who you really are
Chorus
It’s a chrome summer, chrome summer
Shining like a satellite
We’re two little hearts in a steel-frame world
Trying to get the signal right
Oh, chrome summer, chrome summer
Molten moon in your eyes
Let the algorithm lose us, baby
We’re going offline tonight
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Going offline tonight
Bridge
If every little memory
Gets stored up in a cloud
Will anybody hear us
When the servers all go down?
So weld my name beside yours
On the guardrail by the sea
Let the salt eat through the letters
You’ll still remember me
Remember me
Ooo-wah, remember me
Ba-ba-ba-ba
Instrumental Break
Hey!
No likes!
No scroll!
No push notification!
Hey!
Hot wheels!
Cold Coke!
Full-heart synchronization!
Round-and-round-and-round we go!
Where we stop, nobody knows!
Verse
Morning’s coming up like copper
On the cranes beside the bay
Every screen can keep on talking
We got nothing left to say
Just the tires singing on the blacktop
And the gulls above the power lines
You and me and a tank half-empty
Making pretty good time
Pre-Chorus
We got sparks in the stereo
One more mile and nowhere to go
If the whole damn network blows
We’ll still have the radio—
Chorus
It’s a chrome summer, chrome summer
Burning like a satellite
We’re two little sparks in a big machine
And baby, that’s all right
Oh, chrome summer, chrome summer
Turn the whole damn future bright
Let the algorithm lose us, baby
We’re going offline tonight
Chrome summer!
No map, no feed, no alibi
Chrome summer!
Just steel and stars going rolling by
Chrome summer!
No password getting into this
Just a dashboard flame
And a midnight kiss
Outro
Steel and salt and radio waves
Little hearts that won’t behave
Chrome and fire, ocean blue
No one online but me and you
Sha-la-la, don’t need a signal
Chrome summer, rolling on
Ooooooooh, stay with me—
ALL! NIGHT! LONG!
Chrome summer…
Sha-la-la-la…
Chrome summer…
Going offline tonight…
Ooo-wah, ooo-wah
Ooo-wah, ooo-wah…
