[Intro — distorted guitar lick, bass rolls in] Yeah We ain’t gotta make this complicated August don’t last forever anyway [Verse 1 — melodic rap, loose and cocky] Poolside cooking up that mulatto skin She’s got the kinda curves make any bikini a string Sun going down but the temperature climbs She caught me looking, said, “Boy, don’t waste my time” Hot and heavy within these walls No cold sweat, no cold calls Hotel key and her heels by the door We both know what the fuck we came here for Hands all over her ass, it’s mine to mold Only fair enough what her hands get to hold She laughs in my face like, “You think you’re slick?” I said, “September ain’t here — don’t ruin this shit” [Pre-Chorus — guitars widen, drums climb] No names in your phone No plans when we’re home Tonight’s all we own So leave tomorrow alone [Chorus — huge melodic hook, doubled vocal] Fuck what happens after August Right now, baby, we got everything Sun goes down and we get lawless You can be my summer fling Don’t say forever, don’t you promise Don’t put no diamond on this thing Just give me every night you got left And be my summer fliiiiiiiing [Post-Chorus — guitar punches between vocals] Summer fling (Summer, summer) Just my summer fling Yeah [Verse 2 — harder drums, more aggressive melodic cadence] Bite on my lips, treat me so mean Everything done dirty, nothing kept clean Windows cracked, ocean air coming through Whole damn coastline ain’t as hot as you Tongue all over ya body like I’m landscaping lawns She’s riding non-stop from dusk till dawn Morning hits and we’re still wide awake Another day burned, another rule we break No princess treatment, treat her like no queen She’s fucking with me ’cause she likes to scream She gives that same energy right back to me Two bad decisions with good chemistry [Pre-Chorus — higher harmony enters] No names in your phone No plans when we’re home Tonight’s all we own So leave tomorrow alone [Chorus — fuller guitars] Fuck what happens after August Right now, baby, we got everything Sun goes down and we get lawless You can be my summer fling Don’t say forever, don’t you promise Don’t put no diamond on this thing Just give me every night you got left And be my summer fliiiiiiiing [Bridge — half-time, close vocal → explosive build] Maybe when the leaves change You’ll forget my fucking name Maybe I’ll see your pictures And remember why you came But tonight the sky is burning And September can fucking wait We got one more night of summer So come make another mistake [Final Chorus — biggest vocal, guitars open up] FUCK what happens after August Right now, baby, we got everything Sun goes down and we get lawless You can be my summer fling Don’t say forever, don’t you promise We both know what summer means Give me every night you got left And be my summer fliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing [Outro — distorted guitar hook] Summer fling No forever No regrets Just summer.
