[Intro] [Soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] You came running down the shoreline With your sandals in your hand Sunlight tangled in your hair As you pulled me through the sand We bought ice cream from a small stand Yours was melting down your wrist You just laughed and stole my sunglasses Then you leaned in for a kiss [Pre-Chorus] Salt was dancing on your shoulders Wind was playing with your dress You said, "Baby, stay a little" I said, "You don't have to ask" [Chorus] Meet me in our summer garden Where the ocean meets the shore Where the waves keep pulling closer And we keep on wanting more With the salt upon our skin And the sun above our heads You're the sweetest part of summer You're the place I rest my head [Verse 2] We drew our names beside the water Watched the tide erase the lines Built a castle out of nothing Made a kingdom for a while You wore seashells as your jewelry Had a flower in your hair We got sunburned on our shoulders Didn't mind a single care [Pre-Chorus] You were humming to the gulls I was watching you instead You said, "What are you smiling at?" I just kissed your forehead [Chorus] Meet me in our summer garden Where the ocean meets the shore Where the waves keep pulling closer And we keep on wanting more With the salt upon our skin And the sun above our heads You're the sweetest part of summer You're the place I rest my head [Bridge] [Fingerpicked guitar, soft intimate vocals] When the days grow a little shorter And the warm winds disappear When the swimsuits turn to sweaters Will you still be standing here? We can't keep the sun from setting Can't ask tides to stay away But I'd trade a thousand summers For one more ordinary day [Final Chorus] Meet me in our summer garden Where the ocean meets the shore Where we ran into the water Never caring who got soaked With your head against my shoulder And the last light turning red You're the sweetest part of summer You're the home inside my head [Outro] [Gentle acoustic guitar, distant waves] Barefoot in the fading sunlight Your hand resting into mine If the world could stop right here I'd stay with you all summer time [Soft vocal] All summer time...
