[Verse 1]
Picture a girl and she still ain't ready
You're waiting outside in your '02 Chevy
Her silhouette when the sun goes down
The only real thing in a bleach blonde town
Is the way you feel when you're looking into her eyes
And you're wishing that you could steal just a little more time

[Chorus]
Picture a girl with a smile, make you fall too fast
Get high on a feeling that you know won't last
Hits you in the heart like a crashing wave
Gone too soon, yeah but you still taste
The slow steady of a last, long kiss
Feel the touch of her sun-soaked skin
You smile at it now but you still can't help but wonder
Her name was Summer

[Verse 2]
Her name was Summer, last name love
It wasn't long but for three short months you were
All wrapped up, close as you can get
Yeah, you can move on but you can't forget
A girl like that and you know you never will
'Cause every time that you look back and hear that song

[Chorus]
You still picture a girl with a smile, make you fall too fast
Get high on a feeling that you know won't last
Hits you in the heart like a crashing wave
Gone too soon, yeah but you still taste
The slow steady of a last, long kiss
Feel the touch of her sun-soaked skin
You smile at it now but you still can't help but wonder
Yeah, her name was Summer
Her name was Summer

[Bridge]
Her name was Summer, she was cool like rain
She was every single second 'til September came
She was everything you needed and everything you didn't
When you think about the good ol' days

[Chorus]
You picture a girl with a smile, make you fall too fast
Get high on a feeling that you know won't last
Hits you in the heart like a crashing wave
Gone too soon, yeah but you still taste
The slow steady of a last, long kiss
Feel the touch of her sun-soaked skin
You smile at it now but you still can't help but wonder
Yeah, her name was Summer
Her name was Summer
Her name was Summer
