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...
