Summerland

The Night Game - Summerland

All across the beach that night

Sunburned 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

Loaded up like a pistol pump dilated eyes so numb

When the morning came we threw it all away

Smoldering like a smoking gun

get lost in a sitting sun

Those summer nights will burn me to this day

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 summer land

In summer land yeah
