The Beach

Well, you're a long walk from my street

& I'm dying in this summer heat

I hope like hell you're waiting, waiting

Everybody's living like they're crazy in love

I'm a dizzy mess, & everything is so above me

From the floor I found a life I lead today

Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer

But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me

It was the very first time that I lost my mind for a week

They can make, make, make me forget the weather

If they'll never, never, never wash the sand from my feet

It was the very last time that we said goodbye to the beach

(Showing off, showing off our teeth)

So, make one last call back home

'Cause tonight we go it alone

& I hope that you know I'm waiting, waiting

(Summer, do you feel me?)

Everybody's singing like they're crazy in love

We made a dizzy mess of everything, & it was enough

So bring all the boys, & all the girls together

Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer

But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me

It was the very first time that I lost my mind for a week

They can make, make, make me forget the weather

If they'll never, never, never wash the sand from my feet

It was the very last time that we said goodbye to the beach

(Showing off, showing off our teeth)

You're going out in style, & I'm getting tired of

All your lying stop pretending, stop

The answer's in the smile, & I'm coming clean just

Give me something, stop pretending

Cave in & believe me, open up & scream it

Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer

But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me

It was the very first time that I lost my mind for a week

They can make, make, make me forget the weather

If we'll never, never, never wash the sand from my feet

It was the very last time that we said goodbye to the beach

(Showing off, showing off our teeth)
