lyrics

Watching terns taking turns
taking dives
down into the lapping tide

Shaking sand from your hair,
shaking hands
with your dad by your side

We’ve made our fair share
of mistakes, but I don’t care
Just give this a chance
at last, or at least once more

Sleepy eyes suit you well
hold your breath between
New Hampshire and Maine

Chapped lips, cherry pits spit
into the scorching sand

You might still be confused
We’re lost but that’s okay
You know, I might wanna be used
Just don’t push me away

Sunburned, wheels turn,
the skin’ll peel,
rest your head on my chest

Watching terns, taking their turns
taking dives
down into the lapping tide

And we’ve made our fair share
of mistakes, but I don’t care
Just give this a chance
again, or at least this once
