Summer days, catching rays, tire tracks in the sand
Bonfire sparks, shooting stars, holding on to your hand
It always seems like it went way too fast
We did all we could to make it last
But there was

Nowhere to run, no place to hide
That whole summer's etched into my mind
We drank way too much and had too much fun 
Ended with nowhere to run

Boardwalk games, Ford Fairlane, top down the full moon
Labor Day, time to say, see you again next June
It always seems like it went way too fast
We did all we could to make it last
But there was

Nowhere to run, no place to hide
That whole summer's etched into my mind
We drank way too much and had too much fun 
Ended with nowhere to run

We didn't know it then
But there would be no again
That long kiss goodbye
Was the last time I'd ever look into your eyes

It always seems like it went way too fast
We did all we could to make it last
But there was

Nowhere to run, no place to hide
That whole summer is etched into my mind
We drank way too much and had too much fun 
Ended with nowhere to run

It always seems like it went way too fast
