He got loved up on the seashore

Kissing with a girl he'd never met before

Food was sparse but the drink was plenty

Jack was sixteen and Jill had just turned twenty

Lying down on the midnight sand

He said to give her the sky if she held his hand

she counted every star in the sky and said

I, I don't want that I want you instead

I want you instead

I want you instead

I want you instead

You make me feel real, real, real

You make me feel real, real, real

She got loved on the seashore

Kissing with a boy she'd never met before

Food was sparse but the booze was plenty

Jill was sixteen and Jack had just turned twenty

Lying down on the midnight sand

He said to give her the sky if she held his hand

She counted every star in the sky and said

I, I don't want that I want you instead

I want you instead

I want you instead

I want you instead

You make me feel real, real, real

You make me feel real, real, real

I want you instead

I want you instead

I want you instead

You make me feel real, real, real

You make me feel real, real, real

He got loved on the seashore

Kissing with a girl he'd never met before

She got loved on the seashore

Kissing with a boy she'd never met before
