A song about the people we love and the memories we made |
There's a bonfire on the beach, flames flicker like ghosts Two kids holdin' hands from opposite coasts Palms catchin' the breeze of mixed CDs As they watch the show that's overhead Watching the future chase their past Watching the present fade too fast As the sun goes down on this seaside town And all the things they never said... Yeah, he knows what he sees when he looks in her eye And he can't explain it, so he's not gonna try But what can he do to keep from saying goodbye? And how does his face light up as he starts to cry? 'Cause right now, they're in the best of places It's no surprise, smiles stuck on their faces No, they can't ignore what their lives have in store, But they've got this moment forevermore Doin' what they can to slow the world's turn All they can keep are snapshots and sunburn They've lost too much time to idle cares and awkward stares But now they don't care so much It all goes away when their lips touch Yeah, she knows what she sees when she looks at this guy And she can't explain it, so she won't even try She'd do anything to keep from saying goodbye And she looks so pretty when her eyes aren't dry... 'Cause right now, they're in the best of places It's no surprise, smiles stuck on their faces No, they can't ignore what their lives have in store, But they've got this moment forevermore Yeah, they know what they see in the stars in their eyes And words just can't compare, so why would they try? And here on the eve of their final goodbyes, They're still riding strong on emotional highs 'Cause tomorrow, they'll leave the best of places And somehow, smiles snuck on their faces Though they can't ignore what their lives have in store, They know they'll keep feelin' how they felt before And they've got this feeling forevermore When the world just keeps on spinning... |
