White sand, tan skin
Red hot from the beginnin'
Heartbeats racin'
Taste the salt on your lips that I was kissin'

Thought it would always be that way
'Til I felt the seasons change
Maybe we weren't meant to last forever anyway

Just like a song for the summer
When we were young, we never thought it would end
Just gettin' lost in each other, we'd play it 'til it's over
Then play it all over again
We sang along-long-long in the sunshine
All night, so right 'til it was gone
Just like a song
A song for the summer, song for the summer

Bare feet, low tide
We were dancin' in the water
Cool breeze, your eyes
Bluer than the sky, losin' track of time

Now every memory, like a melody
I can't get outta my head
Every single line that you said to me
Takes me right back there again

Just like a song for the summer
When we were young, we never thought it would end
Just gettin' lost in each other, we'd play it 'til it's over
Then play it all over again
We sang along-long-long in the sunshine
All night, so right 'til it was gone
Just like a song
A song for the summer, song for the summer

(A song for the summer, song for the summer)
(A song for the summer, song for the summer)

Now every memory, like a melody
I can't get outta my head

Just like a song for the summer
When we were young, we never thought it would end
Just gettin' lost in each other, we'd play it 'til it's over
Then play it all over again
We sang along-long-long in the sunshine
All night, so right 'til it was gone
Just like a song
A song for the summer, song for the summer

Just like a song
A song for the summer, song for the summer
Just like a song
A song for the summer, song for the summer


We were a song
A song for the summer
