By the Sea

I thought you'd always be there Standing by my side I guess some things get swept away by the rising tide I spend my days regretting The things I didn't say Why the hell was I so afraid? With warm sand pressed into our feet We watch the waves come rolling in We talk about our time away And all the things we could have been Now it's time to go I'll make my way back home Nothing will compare to the days we spent alone Just you And me By the sea Up there on the lookout Waiting for the storm Huddled up beside me You keep me warm But then the winds began to change I waited and you never came Everything got rearranged But on the hill beneath the tree The only place that I felt free We talk about our simple lives And all the things we could have been But now it's time to go (time to go) I'll make my way back home (ooh-ooh-ooh) Nothing will compare to the days we spent alone Just you And me By the sea It's my fault, yeah, I'll admit I only felt beautiful when you said it So everything I put you through Just trying to hold on to you I thought I had this figured out Knew what love was all about But I didn't have a clue With warm sand pressed into our feet We watch the waves come rolling in We talk about our time away And all the things we could have been But now it's time to go Catch that crowded ferry home The sunset over the island Puts on quite a lovely show I don't know what I'll do When Cleveland comes into view I guess I'll waste my time Trying to find someone like you I have the sweetest memories It'll always be Just you and me By the sea
