Lyrics:

Summer things and guitar string and everything when I hear you sing
Summer walks and skipping rocks and how he talks 'bout my blue Reeboks

Down an old dirt road where there's no where to go
but into you into you
By the willow tree where it's just you and me
We'll say I love you I love you too

Meet me in memory in Tennessee
where the sky is filled with stars
and your heart is filled with me
heat meets the night and your kiss with me
you'll always have my heart in Tennessee

We'll take to feet and we'll race up the street I will call you a cheat for beating me there
No need for coats when it's never cold but I want you to know I will still hold you close

Where cicadas buzz and we are so in love
and every star shines for you
where the city sleeps and you are mine to keep
and I love you I love you too

I know this is a love song for couples but, most of this reminds me of my grandpa. i miss him so much and skipping rocks in Tennesee is what i remember most of him. He was a sweet soul and this just reminds of him so much.

And you'll have my heart in Texas, girl! Beautiful song!

This hairstyle makes you look so graceful and elegant also the "oo"s were so chill I feel truly serenaded <3

Love Tennessee, Willow Trees, Sound of Cicadas and this song. Its like being there with someone you love.

I literally read the title as "Tessaneese". Like the language of Tessa. Tessaneese. Brilliant.

I love the space this puts my head in. Such a calm, happy space. And the line "Where cicadas buzz and we are so in love and" honestly just transports me to a cabin by a lake where everything is golden. I love this song and I love playing it on repeat while I write! It's music that inspires me to make something that's as emotional and powerful and just full.

I live in Tennessee, and my favorite part is the sky filled with stars.😊⭐🌟It calms me and fills me with joy. I love this song, thanks Tessa!

[em-zctl]

it's probably insane how much i love this song, but it's two years later and i keep coming back to it. it's just so beautiful?? i have never been in Tennessee, never even been close in proximity, but this song just tugs at every heart string that i have. i think that this version specifically will be in the playlist of songs that changed my life.

[carlosmartinez]

You can feel this song. I saw her live and she is good. It rained hard before her show. It was amazing.

[StrawHatGuy_]

I still look back at the days when you came over to my place and hang out. The good ol’ days are very much missed

[sachie]

This was so lovely and sweet. Beautiful song Tessa <3
