[Verse 1] You came with that tan line smile And a rented room in your eyes We were all heat, no plans Just salt on our skin, no ties Your name on my wrist in ink Was fading before the dawn I learned how fast a flame Can burn the whole block off [Pre-Chorus] Now the moon is up And I’m standing tall You were a spark in July I was bound to fall But I cleaned that mark From my heart and sleeves What you left on my mouth I turned into a breeze [Chorus] Just a summer fling (Just a summer fling) I won’t chase that thing (I won’t chase that thing) You can keep your shine I’m back in my skin Just a summer fling (Just a summer fling) [Verse 2] You liked my love in pieces When it fit your weekend vibe On the boardwalk, under bleach-white skies We played truth and lied Now the same old song Hits different in my chest I used to want your text Now I want my best [Pre-Chorus] Now the moon is up And I’m standing tall You were a spark in July I was bound to fall But I washed that sand Out of my jeans and sleep What you left on my mouth I’m keeping what I keep [Chorus] Just a summer fling (Just a summer fling) I won’t chase that thing (I won’t chase that thing) You can keep your shine I’m back in my skin Just a summer fling (Just a summer fling) [Bridge] Let the tide take names Let the rumors fade I’m not that boy you met In the heat we made I can laugh now, baby I can walk alone Your little fire burned But it led me home [Chorus] Just a summer fling (Just a summer fling) I won’t chase that thing (I won’t chase that thing) You can keep your shine I’m back in my skin Just a summer fling (Just a summer fling) [Outro] Sun went down, I stood up Head high, heart clean What we had was small What I am is me
