Summerland - The Night Game

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
