we were like

two sets of lips on a pepsi-cola

in the middle of the summertime heat you kept it cool

we were west coast kids ridin' 'round in your chevy nova

said you'd come back for me when you had to leave to go back to school

but we were like fire

summer breeze

seventies

all-nighter

let the beach be the background choir

singing like oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

we were like a movie

said i looked too good in that two-piece

and for those three months you knew me

remember those

remember those nights?

we were like

bare feet and blue eyes on the boardwalk

we were counting the stars and the days 'til you had to go

since then nobody ever made my heart stop

just like you did when we lived in that summer glow

'cause we were like fire

summer breeze

seventies

all-nighter

let the beach be the background choir

singing like oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

we were like a movie

said i looked too good in that two-piece

and for those three months you knew me

remember those

remember those nights?

we were like

slow dance

romance

sundress

sunshine

your name

cool rain

so good 'til goodbye

we were like

but we were like fire

summer breeze

seventies

all-nighter

let the beach be the background choir

singing like oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

we were like a movie

said i looked too good in that two-piece

and for those three months you knew me

remember those

remember those nights?

we were like

slow dance

romance

sundress

sunshine

your name

cool rain

so good 'til goodbye

yeah

tan skin

golden tattoo

your smile

the end

pretend forever for a while

we were like
