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 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
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
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
