Cheap wine in the summertime
Sun shinin' on your green eyes
Sunburnt skin and a sly grin
The water's fine won't you come on in
Heavy air and salty hair
We're livin' life without a care
Bare feet on sandy sheets
These are my sunbleached memories
Was it the place? Or the place in time?
Was it your face? Or the state of mind?
There's a missing piece that I just can't seem to find
Take me back to the simpler days, take me back to that July
Sneakin' out of your parents' house
Jump the fence don't make a sound
I'll be outside we can go for a ride
Get lost somewhere on the Westside
Hot nights under streetlights
Somethin' about it just felt so right
Teenage days in a summer haze
All our problems were so far away
Was it the place? Or the place in time?
Was it your face? Or the state of mind?
There's a missing piece that I just can't seem to find
Take me back to the simpler days, take me back to that July
I think it's the place and the place in time
It's your face and the state of mind
They're the missing pieces and the peace of mind
That I left with you, girl, back that July
