Song Lyrics

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

(Got a feeling, and I'm lost in a feeling)

Loaded up like a pistol pump,
Dilated eyes so numb
When the morning we threw it all away
Smoldering like a smoking gun,
Get lost in a setting 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 summerland
In summerland, yeah

Oh, got a feeling
And I'm lost in a feeling
Oh, got a feeling
And I'm lost in a feeling
Oh, got a feeling
And I'm lost in a feeling
Oh, got a feeling
And I'm lost in a feeling
Oh, got a feeling
And I'm lost in a feeling
Oh, got a feeling
And I'm lost in a feeling
