Rolled in as wild and free
As a clear water beach at seventeen memory
Eyes blue as the July sky
Sent shivers down my spine
Every time that he smiled at me

The way he took off that white t-shirt
The way he looked walking out of that water
And it just got hotter, and hotter

The tan line's fading on my sun kissed skin
Hits me like a wave when I think about it
Sublime on the boom box
Our bare feet in the sand
Makin' out on the boardwalk
My heart on fire in his hands, yeah

He drove away the first of September
But I remember
Yeah I remember
He talked like
And he walked like
And he looked like
And he burned like summer, summer, oh
He burned like summer, summer, oh

His kiss was a sweet salt breeze
Had a hold on me like the moon pulls the tide
Took me up on the Ferris wheel
And I swear it feels like I never came down from the high

I know we never said forever
But something about it felt like it would never end

The tan line's fading on my sun kissed skin
Hits me like a wave when I think about it
Sublime on the boom box
Our bare feet in the sand
Makin' out on the boardwalk
My heart on fire in his hands, yeah

He drove away the first of September
But I remember
Yeah I remember
He talked like
And he walked like
And he looked like
And he burned like summer, summer, oh

Bottle rocket sparks in the Florida sky
Summer, summer
Something that bright's gotta burn out some time

The tan line's fading on my sun kissed skin
Hits me like a wave when I think about it
Sublime on the boom box
Our bare feet in the sand
Makin' out on the boardwalk
My heart on fire in his hands, yeah

He drove away the first of September
But I remember
Yeah I remember
He talked like
And he walked like
And he looked like
And he burned like summer, summer 
Yeah
He burned like summer, summer
He burned like summer
