Summerthing

She grew up in that little beach town
I was 17 just hanging out
For a couple crazy months out on the coast
Well she smiled at me
Said her name was Daisy
I just laughed when she called me baby
'Cause what do you say to that
Standin' there watching the sun go down
She wrapped her arms around me
But all I could think about was
How long, how long
Could I really hang on
To somethin' like her
'Cause I knew in my heart she could never be mine
But It felt so good just spending time
With that girl
And lookin' back now I smile every time I think
Well I was just her summerthing
We were sneakin' beers, confessing dreams
Sinkin' quarters in the Pac-Man machine
And making out in the backseat of a car
She taught me how to forget about time
Live for the moment and let love ride
And how it feels to hold a borrowed heart
Cold air came and closed it all down
She tried to sell me a sweet goodbye
But all I could think about was
How long, how long
Could I really hang on
To somethin' like her
'Cause I knew in my heart she could never be mine
But It felt so good just spending time
With that girl
And lookin' back now I smile every time I think
Well I was just her summerthing
How long, how long
Could I really hang on
To somethin like her
'Cause I knew in my heart she could never be mine
But It felt so good just spending time
With that girl
Lookin back now I smile every time I think
Oh lookin back now I smile every time I think
Well I was just her summerthing
