Vox Momenti: That Distant Summer
By Vox Momenti | 19 Jul, 2026

Sometime the call of a distant summer drowns out the noises of today.

[Verse 1]

You were tan lines on my wrist

Blue pool water on your skin

Cheap sunglasses, bent in half

We laughed like we had time to spend

The corner store was melting ice

Sticky hands and paper cups

Your name was salt on my tongue

When the day wore out its luck

[Pre-Chorus]

And I still see that road

Hot under my shoes

The sky was a warning

We never wanted to lose

[Chorus]

That distant summer

Still calls my name (calls my name)

That distant summer

Won’t fade away (won’t fade away)

You were the spark

I was the flame

That distant summer

Still calls my name

[Verse 2]

Paint chips flaked off the porch rail

Your bike leaned hard in the grass

We stole a drive to the river

And begged the afternoon to last

Fingers black from firecrackers

Smoke in the screen door frame

Everybody wanted forever

We only wanted the same

[Pre-Chorus]

And I still hear you laugh

Through the heat and rain

Like a bright little scandal

I can’t wash out my brain

[Chorus]

That distant summer

Still calls my name (calls my name)

That distant summer

Won’t fade away (won’t fade away)

You were the spark

I was the flame

That distant summer

Still calls my name

[Bridge]

Now the years come clean and cold

But they can’t undo that light

Your voice lives in the cracked-up dust

Of every long red night

If time is a thief

It missed one thing

It left me the key

To what we used to sing

[Chorus]

That distant summer

Still calls my name (calls my name)

That distant summer

Won’t fade away (won’t fade away)

You were the spark

I was the flame

That distant summer

Still calls my name (still calls my name)
