lyrics

I'd love to see the coast again
But am I being optimistic?
I'd love to feel the warmth again
Of the late July Pacific
I'd love to hold your hand as we take in the city lights
Promise me that you will never forget this night

Without a doubt, I haven't found a set of blue eyes in this town like yours
That could light up the darkest room
For the sake of not sounding too pathetic, I swear to God that I'll just forget it
What could have been, but never was, and now I'm rambling on and on...

Four weeks on the west coast
My flight leaves first thing tomorrow

I'm on the edge of this seaside cliff and my heart tells me to just jump in
But my mind tells me to quit while we're ahead

The coffee shop on rose, that's where I found you all alone
In the corner staring out of the window
I gathered all my guts to say "You look like you could use some company. Do you mind if I take this seat?"

I sat down and we talked for hours
For weeks we spent every day together

I'm not sure I believe in love, but I don't want to fuck this up
What happens when I leave for home?
I can't expect you to come with me and leave behind your family
So I think it's best if we just let this go

Growing up, I dreamed of love
But life has a way of
Showing you what could be
Then leaving you in defeat
This is not like the movies
When I get off my flight you won't be waiting for me
These Summer nights, they never last, they always seem to go by too fast
