Summer of 2026

I got a job, but I don't wanna go No, no, no The weather's just too good to miss Bad news can wait, we're staying out late In the summer of twenty-six I should be there, but I'm already gone Oh, oh, Tell the boss I'm calling in sick The whole world can scroll, but I'm letting it go In the summer of twenty-six Two-oh-two-six Sunshine on my skin Two-oh-two-six Let the summer begin Olivia loud in my AirPods Notifications set to sleep Rollerblading down the boardwalk With nowhere I've gotta be I can't recall what you told me And I don't really wanna know The gray-sky days are behind me And my worries are on hold I've been waiting all year For a day like this If anybody needs me Tell 'em what they missed I got a job, but I don't wanna go No, no, no The weather's just too good to miss Bad news can wait, we're staying out late In the summer of twenty-six I should be there, but I'm already gone Oh, oh, Tell the boss I'm calling in sick The whole world can scroll, but I'm letting it go In the summer of twenty-six Two-oh-two-six Sunshine on my skin Two-oh-two-six Let the summer begin So I bought a pair of cheap sunglasses And a postcard I'll never send You can waste your life making plans Or waste an afternoon with friends We've been running all year Just to stay where we are Tonight we're trading deadlines For the backseat of a car I got a job, but I don't wanna go No, no, no The weather's just too good to miss Bad news can wait, we're staying out late In the summer of twenty-six I should be there, but I'm already gone Oh, oh, Tell the boss I'm calling in sick The whole world can scroll, but I'm letting it go In the summer of twenty-six Maybe nothing lasts forever Maybe that's what makes it good Maybe we don't need the answers Half as much as we thought we would The sun drops down behind the water Like it's got somewhere else to be Tomorrow can come looking But tonight it won't find me
