White sand, tan skin
 Red hot from the beginning
 Heartbeats racing
 Taste the salt on your lips that I was kissing
 Thought it would always be that way
 'Til I felt the seasons change
 Maybe we weren't meant to last forever anyway
 Just like a song for the summer
 When we were young, we never thought it would end
 Just getting lost in each other, we'd play it 'til it's over
 Then play it all over again
 We sang along, long, long in the sunshine
 All night, so right 'til it was gone
 Just like a song, song for the summer, song for the summer
 Bare feet, low tide
 We were dancing in the water
 Cool breeze, your eyes
 Bluer than the sky, losing track of time
 Now every memory, like a melody
 I can't get out of my head
 Every single line that you said to me
 Takes me right back there again
 Just like a song for the summer
 When we were young, we never thought it would end
 Just getting lost in each other, we'd play it 'til it's over
 Then play it all over again
 We sang along, long, long in the sunshine
 All night, so right 'til it was gone
 Just like a song, song for the summer, song for the summer
 Song for the summer, song for the summer
 Song for the summer, song for the summer
 Now every memory, like a melody
 I can't get out of my head
 Just like a song for the summer
 When we were young, we never thought it would end
 Just getting lost in each other, we'd play it 'til it's over
 Then play it all over again
 We sang along, long, long in the sunshine
 All night, so right 'til it was gone
 Just like a song, song for the summer, song for the summer
 Just like a song, song for the summer, song for the summer
 Just like a song, song for the summer, song for the summer
 We were a song, a song for the summer
