Salt Water Taffy

Gave you all of my vacation days

God, it's such a bummer when the summertime slips away

Strawberries and angel cake

Feels like I turned 16 today

Head to toe in hand-me-downs

August feels a million miles long

And I'm still so young

Don't go yet, I was finally happy

In the grass laughing, salt water taffy

Sunscreen skin, but I'm still getting rosy

Learning the things that nobody told me

(Don't go)

How to tie a cherry stem

With my tongue

Oh, I had no idea about

The woman I would become

Head to toe in hand-me-downs

August feels a million miles long

And I'm still so young

Don't go yet, I was finally happy

In the grass laughing, salt water taffy

Sunscreen skin, but I'm still getting rosy

Learning the things that nobody told me

Pool water, watermelon, melancholy

Talking every night over a fire pit, the perfect fit

The aloe vera smell over my swimsuit

Hanging, drying in the shower, every minute is an hour

This summer feels long

I'm still so young

Don't go (don't go, don't go)

Don't go (don't go, don't go)

Don't go yet, I was finally happy

In the grass laughing, salt water taffy

Sunscreen skin, but I'm still getting rosy

Learning the things that nobody told me

Don't go yet, I was finally happy

In the grass laughing, salt water taffy

Sunscreen skin, but I'm still getting rosy

Learning the things that nobody told me

Don't go yet, I was finally happy
