Met her one night at the county fair,
Dust on her boots and sun-kissed hair.
Ferris wheel lights lit up her face,
The kind of smile time can't erase.
We talked like the world had just begun,
Hearts racing fast, not knowing what we'd become.
Summer was built from castles of sand.
(castles of sand)
Lemonade kisses as we walked hand in hand.
(hand in hand)
Fireflies caught in a Mason jar,
No worries, no fears, just who we are.
(just who we are)
We believed in forever back then.
(forever back then)
In a heartbeat, I'd go back again.
(I'd go back again)
Fireworks danced above the fair,
Her soft perfume filled July air.
(ooooh)
I reached for her hand, soft and shy,
The smell of summer under a star-lit sky.
(aaaah)
Time stood still in a midway trance,
Two hearts tangled in a fairground dance.
(ooooh)
Summer was built from castles of sand.
(castles of sand)
Lemonade kisses as we walked hand in hand.
(hand in hand)
Fireflies caught in a Mason jar,
No worries, no fears, just who we are.
(just who we are)
We believed in forever back then.
(forever back then)
In a heartbeat, I'd go back again.
(I'd go back again)
Beneath the canopy where night got cold,
We carved our names and promises told.
(ooooh)
Laughed at nothing, shared teenage glory,
Thought summer love would be our story.
(aaaah)
Like the morning mist, our love would fade —
Just the last coin played in the arcade.
(ooooh)
Summer was built from castles of sand.
(castles of sand)
Lemonade kisses as we walked hand in hand.
(hand in hand)
Fireflies caught in a Mason jar,
No worries, no fears, just who we are.
(just who we are)
We believed in forever back then.
(forever back then)
In a heartbeat, I'd go back again.
(I'd go back again)
Now and then I drive that old back road,
First kiss, first love, where our story was told.
The fair's long gone, but she's still there,
Her perfume still lingers in the country air.
We believed in forever back then,
And yeah, I still go back every now and again.
