She was workin' a 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 henna tattoos tank tops and ray bans

And hearts drawn in the sand

Cause summer flings ain't meant to last

They always burn too hot too fast

Ya don't talk about it cause you both understand

Ya get drunk on those boardwalk days

That pretty buzzed look on her face

And it fades away just like a seaside tan

And hearts drawn in the sand

Sit out on the st. johns 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

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

Like hearts drawn in the sand

Oh summer flings ain't meant to last

They always burn too hot too fast

You don't talk about it cause you both understand

You get drunk on those boardwalk days

And that pretty buzzed look on her face

And it fades away just like a seaside tan

And hearts drawn in the sand

Yea you get drunk on those boardwalk days

And that pretty buzzed look on her face

And it fades away just like a seaside tan

And hearts drawn in the sand
