Beat This Summer

Like the ferris wheel goes around and around
Well, the trouble with up is there's always a down
First I'm holding your hand and we're on the boardwalk
There's heaven right here on these streets and these docks
But the sun keeps setting, the days go fast
And the sand on the beach is like an hourglass
I can just feel it all slipping away
And babe, I can already say that

As long as I live
Whatever I do
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer

I ain't never gonna beat this summer with you
Baby, it's true
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you

Before you know it, it's all gonna stop
They'll be rolling up windows and putting up cops
Be a cold wind blowing and leaves through the air
And you won't find a tan line anywhere
Baby, I know that it ain't over yet
So let's make the most of what we have left
But it's hard living for this moment we're in
And knowing it's all gonna end

As long as I live
Whatever I do (whatever I do)
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer

I ain't never gonna beat this summer with you
Baby, it's true
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you

Yeah, looking at you, girl, standing there
Got your Wayfarers on and the sun in your hair
Just like the song in a seashell
You'll be stuck in my mind, bouncing 'round in my head
And baby, I can tell

Yeah, as long as I live
Whatever I do (whatever I do)
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer

I ain't never gonna beat this summer with you
Baby, it's true
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you
