She was workin' her summer jobSellin' T-shirts, towels, and sunblockA Midwest girl who couldn't live without the beachI was a local boy who worked next doorNever seen a smile like hers beforeShe put her feet up on the dash of my old JeepIt was hella tattoos, tank tops, and Ray-BansAnd hearts drawn in the sandAll summer flames ain't meant to lastThey always burnThey always burn too hot, too fastDon't talk about it, but you both understandYou get drunk on those boardwalk daysAnd that pretty bus look on her faceAnd it fades away just like a seaside tanAnd hearts drawn in the sandAnd it fades away just like a seaside tanOn the St. John's PierShe drank wine and I drank beerAnd when we saw a boat light blinkWe'd make a wishThen we'd take a walk where the waves hit your feetAnd she'd lean right in close to meAnd I could taste the sun and salt on her lipsAnd that day would wash away when the tide came inAnd that day would wash away when the tide came inAnd hearts drawn in the sandAnd hearts drawn in the sandAnd all summer flames ain't meant to lastAnd all summer flames ain't meant to lastAnd all summer flames ain't meant to lastThey always burn too hot too fastYou don't talk about it, but you both understandThey always burn too hot too fastYou get drunk on those boardwalk daysAnd that pretty bus look on her faceAnd it fades away just like a seaside tanAnd hearts drawn in the sandAnd hearts drawn in the sandYeah, you get drunk on those boardwalk datesAnd that pretty buzz look on her faceThen it fades away just like a seaside tanAnd hearts drawn in the sandguitar solo
