[Intro – soft ocean wave sound, warm rhodes piano] Sun down on the horizon Ice cubes melting slow [Verse 1 – clean 808, shaker rhythm, warm bass] Flip flops stuck in warm wet sand Bluetooth speaker in my right hand Coconut rum drips down my wrist Nobody here is checking lists No alarms no early morning calls Just the tide and pretty souls [Pre-Chorus – gentle rim clicks, background harmonies] Everybody here got their guard down low Wind in your hair just let it go [Chorus – full groove, layered vocals, summer swing] We dance barefoot on the shore Till the moon comes through the door Salt water on our skin Ain't no place we'd rather be Bass hits soft through the palm trees This is how summer's supposed to be [Verse 2 – subtle congas, deeper bass groove] Strand lights glow across the bay Old school tracks all night we play Somebody brought a watermelon Laughing loud we don't care who's watching Toes sink deep into the tide Tomorrow can wait for tonight [Pre-Chorus – soft adlibs, building rhythm] Every worry got washed out with the wave Right here right now we got it made [Chorus – extra percussion, smooth adlibs] We dance barefoot on the shore Till the moon comes through the door Salt water on our skin Ain't no place we'd rather be Bass hits soft through the palm trees This is how summer's supposed to be [Bridge – stripped back bass, soft rhodes] No photos no timelines no rush Just this moment just this hush Everybody here feels the same Nothing ever gonna beat this day [Solo – warm saxophone melody, gentle beach drums] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full groove, crowd background vocals] We dance barefoot on the shore Till the sun comes back once more Salt water on our skin Ain't no place we'd rather be Bass hits soft through the palm trees This is how summer's supposed to be [Outro – fading bass, distant ocean waves] Just keep dancing slow Summer don't ever go
