Summerland

(albüm: The Night Game - 2018)

All across the beach that night
Sunburnt skin, hot like fire
So young and fast and sick of waiting
Staring up at a blood red sky
We were the tide so high
On a bed of glass, no reservations
Hey, a memory, won't you let me go
Hey, I can't go back so long ago

To fire and matches
And cigarette lips
Hearts out stranded
On Styrofoam drifts
Searching for true love
With you in the sand
In summerland
In summerland, yeah

Ooh got a feeling
And I'm lost in a feeling
Ooh got a feeling
And I'm lost in a feeling

Loaded up like a pistol pump
Dilated eyes so numb
When the morning came, we threw it all away
Smoldering like a smoking gun
Getting lost in the setting sun
Those summer nights still burn me to this day
Well hey, a memory, won't you let me go
Hey, I can't go back so long ago

To fire and matches
And cigarette lips
Hearts out stranded
On Styrofoam drifts
Searching for true love
With you in the sand
In summerland
In summerland, yeah

There was salt on the backseat
Salt in the wounds
A jacket for bedsheets
And my hands all over you

Fire and ashes
A suicide kiss
Then like a phantom
You sailed with the ships
I almost found true love
With you in the sand
In summerland
In summerland, yeah

Ooh got a feeling
And I'm lost in a feeling
Ooh got a feeling
And I'm lost in a feeling
