Sunburn on Our Smiles

Flip-flops hanging from your hand

Sand already on your shins

You laugh, say, "Race you to the water"

I let you win again

Salt on your shoulder

Sunscreen on my nose

Towel like a crooked flag

Where the warm wind blows

It’s a beautiful beach day

You and me, washed in blue

Got the sunburn on our smiles

Nothing else we need to do

Let the waves erase our worries

Let the hours just drift away

If this is all we ever have

I’d stay in this beautiful beach day (oh-oh)

Plastic cup, melted ice

Your hair caught in the breeze

You trace shapes in the soft wet shoreline

Write our names like it’s a secret key

Seagulls drawing lazy lines

Kids building crooked towns

You lean back, eyes half-closed

Say, "Let’s never turn around"

It’s a beautiful beach day

You and me, washed in blue

Got the sunburn on our smiles

Nothing else we need to do

Let the waves erase our worries

Let the hours just drift away

If this is all we ever have

I’d stay in this beautiful beach day (yeah, yeah)

When the sky turns cotton candy

And the water turns to glass

Promise me we’ll still remember

How it felt to have this past

It’s a beautiful beach day

You and me, washed in blue

Got the sunburn on our smiles

Nothing else we need to do

Let the waves erase our worries

Let the daylight slip away

If this is all we ever have

I’d stay in this beautiful beach day

I’d stay in this beautiful beach day (oh-oh)
