lyrics

Well I've always loved the summer, you know
Even though I tend to burn
Sometimes I get too close to the sun
I guess that I'll never learn

So let's load up the wagon
And drive it on down to the beach
And I won't forget the sunscreen
I keep it right here in my reach

I've always loved the way that you talk
You always know just what to say
But sometimes we get too close to the truth
And it always scares me away

But let's load up the wagon
And drive it on down to the beach
And I won't forget the sunscreen
I keep it right here in my reach

I'm under the weather
But I'm over the moon
Cause I'm coming home soon

I've always thought that there was a plan
Some bigger purpose one day we'd understand
But what if the truth is there's just today?
And in this very moment everything is okay

So let's load up the wagon
And drive it on down to the beach
And I won't forget the sunscreen
I keep it right here in my reach

I've always loved the summer, you know
Even though I tend to burn
