Lyrics[]
Walkin' down picket fence
Run my hands along the edge and
Music plays in my head
Hear the song before I go to bed when
Stars are bright outside my window
Wake up to tree boughs filled up with snow
And I remember, oh I remember
I remember my summer with you
Cherry Popsicles sand in my toes
Rolled down windows, hold my hand, hold me close
Pick up your phone, wanna hear your voice again
Like a fresh air like a windblown hair
I like you I don't care
Why did it have to end?
Summer love with my best friend
(with my best friend)
West coast winter breeze
As it blows through the palm trees and they
Where they raid bands and spray tans
Oh I wish it was summer again when
Stars are bright outside my window
Wake up this song echoes off my pillow
And I remember, oh I remember
I remember my summer with you
Cherry Popsicles sand in my toes
Rolled down windows, hold my hand, hold me close
Pick up your phone, wanna hear your voice again
Like a fresh air like a windblown hair
I like you I don't care
Why did it have to end?
Summer love with my best friend
(with my best friend)
I fly to you all the way across the states
I'd fly to you, hear me the winter day
Oh, I'd follow the sun
And come right to your door
I remember my summer with you
Cherry Popsicles sand in my toes
Rolled down windows, hold my hand, hold me close
Pick up your phone, wanna hear your voice again
Like a fresh air like a windblown hair
I like you I don't care
Why did it have to end?
Summer love with my best friend
(with my best friend)
