in the summer

in the summer, when we were younger
we didn't know what the hell we were doing
in the summer, when we were lovers
it was only ourselves we were losing

i met you on the beach that night
i was taking a walk you were enjoying the sights
you asked me to come over and sit
and we stared at the stars and talked for a bit
you're glad about your parents divorce
your brother's happier now and you go out more
you love the beach and the sound of the waves
but you hate the way that rosé tastes

but now you have to go
the sun's peeking up and it's getting late
your tracks in the sand as you walk away

cuz I can't wait to see you again
lifeguard chair and the sunset
and i never have to ask how you've been
cuz i've been there too

cuz I can't wait to see you again
play with my hair in the sunset
and i never have to ask how you've been
cuz i've been there too

you lay your tired head on my lap
you put my sweatshirt on as you let out a laugh
you're curled up while you're watching the waves
you fell asleep and i wished i could stay here for days
i brush your hair behind your ear
i know that everything i need is just right here
you're half asleep when you look at me
you hold my head in your hands and you kiss my cheek

but now you have to go
the sun's peeking up and it's getting late
your tracks in the sand as you walk away

cuz I can't wait to see you again
lifeguard chair and the sunset
and i never have to ask how you've been
cuz i've been there too

cuz I can't wait to see you again
play with my hair in the sunset
and i never have to ask how you've been
cuz i've been there too

now you live with your dad, because the judge said so
off to oklahoma
no beaches, only roads
no sandy feet anymore
no more walks into town
no more kisses under starlight
no one to keep me on the ground

cuz I can't wait to see you again
lifeguard chair and the sunset
and tell me all about how you've been
cuz i've missed you

cuz I can't wait to see you again
play with my hair in the sunset
and tell me all about how you've been
cuz i love you
