How did we get here
Far away from our friends
Whispers in my ears
I was giving up
But you pulled me back in
Is this something real?
Brown eyes, freckles, your curly hair
How you touch me is so unfair
Soft gaze, warm lights
Now tell me what you wanna do to me
Won’t be waiting for so long
Head spinning, don’t know why
Thoughts drifting, don’t know why
Heart racing, don’t know why
You keep me up at night
Head spinning, don’t know why
Thoughts drifting, don’t know why
Heart racing, don’t know why
You keep me up at night
Hey, you know
I’ve been thinking about you lately
On my tippy toes
That’s what you do to me boy
Been a while since I felt this craving
It’s making me wild hmm
Your fingers tracing my pink lips
How you touch me is so unfair
Soft gaze, warm lights
Now tell me how you wanna kiss me
Won’t be waiting for so long
Lit me up like summer
There’s no love like other
The boy of my dreams
The boy of my dreams
Now I’m lost in the colors
Can’t be one or another
He’s more than he seems
He’s more than he seems
Kiss me under water
We can keep our secrets in the ocean
Let’s get lost beneath the stars
Sailing through the night
With every breath I take, time slows down when you’re near
Kiss me under water
Head spinning, don’t know why
Thoughts drifting, don’t know why
Heart racing, don’t know why
You keep me up at night
Lit me up like summer
There’s no love like other
The boy of my dreams
The boy of my dreams
Now I’m lost in the colors
Can’t be one or another
He’s more than he seems
He’s more than he seems
Kiss me under water
We can keep our secrets in the ocean
Let’s get lost beneath the stars
Sailing through the night
Lit me up like summer
Lit me up like summer
Lit me up like summer
Lit me up like summer
