It was early June
When you came strolling up the shore
I was seventeen
And you weren’t a senior anymore
Your golden skin and dark tattoos
Were just the kind that I would choose
For myself -I wanted nothing else
Your skin against my skin
Basking in the wind
As the ocean waves kept crashing down
Like a song without an end
Teenage summers when the world was new
No one ever felt like me and you
On a starry night
We’d be burning brighter than the sun
In those teenage summers
When vacation ended I went back to school and then
I guess we both pretended we could just be cool as friends
But I dreamed about that summer sun and the stories we had just begun
And I knew we’d do it all again
Your skin against my skin
Basking in the wind
As the ocean waves kept crashing down
Like a song without an end
Teenage summers when the world was new
No one ever felt like me and you
On a starry night
We’d be burning brighter than the sun
In those teenage summers
Growing up so fast -teenage summers
Never meant to last -teenage summers
When the days were long and fancy free
And every moment meant so much
When you were next to me
Teenage summers when the world was new
No one ever felt like me and you
Teenage summers when the world was new
No one ever felt like me and you
On a starry night
We’d be burning brighter than the sun
