--my stab at a summer pop anthem, inspired by those glorious coast trips back in high school that were utterly NOT adult supervised.

lyrics

Summer Calls the Shots
(© 2010 Walter Ehresman)

The tide is high, the sun is shining, as we race down to the sea;
The wind, it blows her hair into my face, but her hand is on my knee;
The top is down, and we're loaded for bear--the cooler busting at the seams;
and I see that glint of mischief in her eyes--like all of Summer's just for me

[chorus]
I've been waiting such a long time;
Deep in the night, I thought this day would never come;
and now my skin soaks up the sunshine
--I'm of right mind (feelin' so fine);
--for our Grand Design (watching your behind);
and all we need is what we got,
when Summer calls the shots.

The boys are rooting for the maximum of skin, as her shorts drop to the sand;
and the box is pumping poppin' sounds from Six Degrees, with a groove that's out of hand;
and now she's dancin' a little closer next to me (I feel my blood begin to fizz);
and we both know that time is just a state of mind, 'cause right now Summer's all there is.

[chorus]

[break]
Freeze that frame where she's standing in the waves--
the light, it glistens off each tiny drop that falls;
and when she throws that look I know is just for me,
I feel my head explode with the beauty of it all.
