lyrics

Let's sit on the pebbles and freeze for a while
With a rapturous sunset and mischievous smile
I'll hide my impatience behind constellations
And complex equations, fit for a child
The tide's coming in as our time's running out
My tentative kiss beats your sensitive doubt
I'm crazy and blind so I'll try read your mind
You're sweet, you're divine and you're wild

(Chorus)

The tide will wash our trail away
Catch the breeze and sail away
It's time to make our getaway

This time it's day and there's people around
You gasp and you whisper in ultrasound
You wink and remark that you wish it was dark
So that we could embark on a heavenly ride
I'll keep my silence believe me please
Drawn in by sirens on Spanish seas
Know you're in charge, you're an angel at large
I'm cautiously watching the tide

(Chorus)

Plotting under cover of stars
We're spies in the cold while there's warmth in the bars
You silence my speech with a kiss on my cheek
This troublesome beach sees the best and the worst of us

Stroking your hair as I'm feeling brave
There's boats on horizons and surfers and tidal waves
But I preach that you're out of my reach
On this sparkling beach of ours
(I got carried away by our getaway)

Lay down beside me, let’s kill some time
I'm beside myself too and I don't know why
This sparkling beach sees the best and the worst of us
