lyrics

The summer heat
Faded quickly as we drove
Out of the sunshine.
We made a pact never to
Go back to when it was
Just you alone,
And my heart cold as stone.

Now that it’s fallen apart,
Let’s start over.
Baby this time,
We’re using bricks instead of sand.
On the beach where we left our dignity,
You’ll never find me.
You’ll never find me.

That night under Friday night lights
I knew you were trouble.
I was there on the double.
My strings were so easy to pull.
I’ve run away from everything that
Reminds me of you.

Maybe if we’re quiet,
They’ll never see us.
Maybe if we’re quiet,
They’ll never see us.
Maybe if we’re quiet,
Maybe if we’re quiet.
Let’s hope they never see us.

Now that it’s fallen apart,
Let’s start over.
Baby this time,
We’re using bricks instead of sand.
On the beach where we left our dignity,
You’ll never find me.
You’ll never find me.

Maybe if we’re quiet,
They’ll never see us.
Maybe if we’re quiet.

Now that it’s fallen apart,
Let’s start over.
Baby this time,
We’re using bricks instead of sand.
On the beach where we left our dignity,
You’ll never find me.
You’ll never find me.
