lyrics

Let's go to the beach
I'll get my brother to buy us some alcohol
We don't have to sleep
We'll just dream about never getting old

And I hate this town
But I know it's better when you're here
I can't figure out
What I'm gonna do when you leave

I know the oceans might keep us apart
But I'm hoping you'll look at the stars
And remember the nights we made ours
Hanging out in Ben's garage
Swimming naked at 2 AM
In a lake full of phosphorescence
Life could never be that hard
When we were walking home from Ben's backyard

Let's go to your house
I don't care if it's a 30 minute drive away
Your mum's pretty cool
She gets along with mine and they let me stay

And I won't forget
All the things you've done for me
This is as good as it gets
When you're drunk and lonely and you're seventeen

I know the oceans might keep us apart
But I'm hoping you'll look at the stars
And remember the nights we made ours
Hangin' out in Ben's garage
Swimming naked at two am
In a lake full of phosphorescence
Life could never be that hard
When we were walking home from Ben's backyard

I know that you've gotta go
So I'll pretend to like all these other people
I get pretty sad when I'm drinking red
So tonight we'll just pretend you're not leaving

I know the oceans might keep us apart
But I'm hoping you'll look at the stars
And remember the nights we made ours
Hangin' out in Ben's garage
Swimming naked at two am
In a lake full of phosphorescence
Life could never be that hard
When we were walking home from Ben's backyard
