Girl of the Summer

The boardwalks empty, the grey stole the blue from the sky
Ain't nobody watching the sun burning into the night
Nobody's hanging round making out in the photobooth
Guess this old beach town burned out with me and you
I can see the smoke, rolling off your lips
Feel my fingers running through the belt that's on your hips
I guess you had to go, had other things in mind
Never thought you'd leave me behind

I see I was just another sunset fading in your eyes
I may never love another like my girl of the summer

I can see your feet on my dash, dark hair in the breeze
Hunger in them golden brown eyes staring holes through me
Grinding through the gravel, passing trains to that old junkyard
The things we uncover on the top of those abandoned cars

I can feel the steel, sticking to my back
Feel the wind howling through the trains on the tracks
Counting every star, crossing every line
Always thinking that you'll be mine

I see I was just another sunset fading in your eyes
I may never love another like my girl of the summer

Just last week saw a black jeep passing me by
Could have sworn it was your dark hair blowing out the passenger side
I did a double take, couldn't catch my breath
Felt just like a wrecking ball that hit me in the chest
It's like you disappeared, swept out in the tide
How'd you leave without a goodbye

I see I was just another sunset fading in your eyes
I may never love another like my girl of the summer

Yeah

Yeah

Oh
