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 riding '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
