[Verse 1] Flip-flops by the front door, sand stuck in my jeans, Late-night drives and blurry stars, living in our dreams. Polaroids are fading, but the laughter still remains, Salt upon our skin and sunshine in our veins. [Pre-Chorus] We said, “This summer’s gonna last forever,” But August always steals the gold. Now every sunset feels a little sweeter, ‘Cause we know we’re getting close. [Chorus] These sunburnt memories stay on my skin, Like every bonfire night and every dive we jumped in. Golden days, pink skies, and the songs we used to sing, Now they’re little pieces of everything. Even when the tan lines fade away eventually, I’ll still carry these sunburnt memories. [Verse 2] Boardwalk lights are glowing, our shadows running free, Ice cream on our fingertips, waves out by the sea. Counting down the moments we never wanted to end, Wishing we could bottle up July and play it back again. [Pre-Chorus] We said, “This summer’s gonna last forever,” But seasons always learn to change. Still, every photograph and every sunset Keeps a little bit of our names. [Chorus] These sunburnt memories stay on my skin, Like every bonfire night and every dive we jumped in. Golden days, pink skies, and the songs we used to sing, Now they’re little pieces of everything. Even when the tan lines fade away eventually, I’ll still carry these sunburnt memories. [Outro] One last sunset, one last wave crashing near me, Summer may be gone, but it’s never really leaving. In every laugh, every breeze, every melody— I’ll forever keep these sunburnt memories.
