Shy kid, knees always bruised | |||
The daddy's girl that became you | The daddy's girl that became you | ||
In the front seat, you pulled me close | In the front seat, you pulled me close | ||
Kissed my lips, it tasted like home | Kissed my lips, it tasted like home | ||

The days we live are so much more | The days we live are so much more | ||
We got a little place near the beach | |||
We watch the sailboats out at sea | We watch the sailboats out at sea | ||
And we ride along the Palisades | And we ride along the Palisades | ||
Love is just a summer day | Love is just a summer day | ||
If you hold too tight it starts to fade | |||
Let it go then, then it floats away | Let it go then, then it floats away | ||
In time will you remember me | In time will you remember me | ||
For a second we had everything | For a second we had everything | ||
Half awake and sunburned... | |||
Searching vines of summer... | Searching vines of summer... | ||

Lyrics
Shy kid, knees always bruised
The daddy's girl that became you
In the front seat, you pulled me close
Kissed my lips, it tasted like home
Flashes of crosswords and chamomile
The years pass like a Ferris Wheel
The tiny fractures in the form
The days we live are so much more
We got a little place near the beach
We watch the sailboats out at sea
And we ride along the Palisades
Love is just a summer day
If you hold too tight it starts to fade
Let it go then, then it floats away
In time will you remember me
For a second we had everything
Half awake and sunburned...
Searching vines of summer...
Aimless and upwards...
