I feel the nights are getting warmer So now's the time to head toward the sun (let's head toward the ocean) I draw your name into the sand And then I draw my own name, too (I'm just so beside myself) I know that everyone's excited And I can't help but run to the beach (I just want to reach you) I feel the sand between my toes As we're playing among the waves
And I'm happy that the days are so long 'cause I could make a sand castle all day with you Right next to the sea And when you smile at me I want to sail with you on a boat into the sunset
I'm feeling lonely as the waters bubble all around me My heartbeat feels like it's drowning You can't hear what I say The pearls are white, the corals scarlet And the fish surround me I think I've found my new home, in a way
I just don't wanna be lost in the dark Don't put out that fire on the sand I just don't wanna be lost out at sea Come on take me back onto dry land And just lie down on the beach And watch the horizon with me
She takes his hand and holds him steady And now he's only smiling at her
(and laughing with her now) And suddenly the sun does not burn As hot as I feel it should (the night's growing colder now) I feel like I'm the little mermaid Who's never even seen by her prince (how can I convince him?) How beautifully should I swim And what shells do I give away?
Will the summer last forever to us? Because I love the way the sun hits your face When you look out at the sea But she is closer than me to your side I could use a daiquiri about now
I'm feeling lonely as the waters bubble all around me My heartbeat feels like it's drowning You can't hear what I say The pearls are white, the corals scarlet And the fish surround me I think I've found my new home, in a way
I'll swim all the way down, way down to the sea floor I don't want to wait anymore I wish he would look at me and give this mermaid a chance
I'm feeling lonely as the waters bubble all around me My heartbeat feels like it's drowning You can't hear what I say A mermaid turns into the sea foam, glowing pink in tide Even though summer just started, why does it have to end?
I'm feeling lonely as the waters bubble all around me My heartbeat feels like it's drowning You can't hear what I say The pearls are white, the corals scarlet And the fish surround me I think I've found my new home, in a way
