lyrics

We spent our holiday on the sand
Violent waves crashing all around
I couldn't meet your demands
I was burnt enough for the two of us

When every mistake
Just won't wash away

Baby, baby, why can't you see
How far I'll go?
Doesn't it show my love?
Kiss me, Kiss me, we're all alone
The Summer's fleeting
and you're retreating back home

Who really wants to face the storms rolling in?
We could put them off for just today
Roll in the sand — just take my hand
We can replace the grays, whatcha say?
But you were never one to keep
What was on your mind to yourself

Black lipstick like a spider's bit
Your kiss keeps me up at night
A sting so sweet it makes me lose my mind
