She was workin' her summer job
Sellin' T-shirts, towels, and sunblock
A Midwest girl who couldn't live without the beach
I was a local boy who worked next door
Never seen a smile like hers before
She put her feet up on the dash of my old Jeep
It was hella tattoos, tank tops, and Ray-Bans
And hearts drawn in the sand
All summer flames ain't meant to last
They always burn
They always burn too hot, too fast
Don't talk about it, but you both understand
You get drunk on those boardwalk days
And that pretty bus look on her face
And it fades away just like a seaside tan
And hearts drawn in the sand
And it fades away just like a seaside tan

On the St. John's Pier
She drank wine and I drank beer
And when we saw a boat light blink
We'd make a wish
Then we'd take a walk where the waves hit your feet
And she'd lean right in close to me
And I could taste the sun and salt on her lips
And that day would wash away when the tide came in
And that day would wash away when the tide came in
And hearts drawn in the sand
And hearts drawn in the sand



And all summer flames ain't meant to last
And all summer flames ain't meant to last
And all summer flames ain't meant to last
They always burn too hot too fast
You don't talk about it, but you both understand
They always burn too hot too fast



You get drunk on those boardwalk days
And that pretty bus look on her face
And it fades away just like a seaside tan
And hearts drawn in the sand

And hearts drawn in the sand


Yeah, you get drunk on those boardwalk dates
And that pretty buzz look on her face
Then it fades away just like a seaside tan
And hearts drawn in the sand
