Time to go out on my own to a place that I could never call home Find me a way to be free help me help me feel at ease play me that song tonight with your summer keys Find me a way to be free help me help me feel at ease play me that song tonight with your summer keys When I walk through our old town faded memories of days gone by it all seemed so pointless then I swear dream so perfect the magic air we all once shared deserted now Find me a way to be free help me help me feel at ease play me that song tonight with your summer keys Find me a way to be free help me help me feel at ease play me that song tonight with your summer keys Searching, still searching nothing left at all we left it all in search of something more Find me a way to be free help me help me feel at ease play me that song tonight with your summer keys Find me a way to be free help me help me feel at ease play me that song tonight with your summer keys

There ain't nothing like this night We laugh, we sing, we dance There ain't nothing like this night That's my paradise It's the sound of summer baby crashing waves and paper kites there's a city by the sea that's where I want to be magnetic hearts chasing neon nights I would wait for you (waiting all night, been waiting all summer) my whole life baby (tell me one time, tell me one time baby) I never thought (been waiting all my life, tell me it's alright) that I would feel the way I do (to feel the way I do) There ain't nothing like this night We laugh, we sing, we dance There ain't nothing like this night That's my paradise Take my hand and hold on tight We laugh, we sing, we dance There ain't nothing like this night That's my paradise There's a fire burning deep inside let it out let's burn this whole town down to the ground let it out this town from no where, let me out and we'll go quietly Tonight, outside your front door I'll be waiting in my car We'll outrun the sun It never rises when you're riding by my side The night stands still When I feel your magnetic heart I don't know what we got and I don't know how you feel but I know this blame it on me when you can't sleep (I blame you too) and blame it on me when I'm all you see (when night begins to fall, I feel you) and I blame you tonight there's no me without you I know my heart would fail without you There ain't nothing like this night We laugh, we sing, we dance There ain't nothing like this night That's my paradise Take my hand and hold on tight We laugh, we sing, we dance There ain't nothing like this night That's my paradise

She drives down the coastline The road so long There's no where left to run The wind blow threw her hair She doesn't have a care in the world Bright red lipstick Big blue eyes She's got the pedal to the metal Going 185 Rebel girl She's wild and she's free Can't be held down She's a sunset baby Going so fast She drives them crazy Foot to the floor Making you disappear Head in the clouds Miss "leave me be" She's alright She's a sunset baby Here, colors paint the sky Her engine glows red She comes alive Like the moon She shines the brightest in the night Bright red lipstick Big blue eyes She's got the pedal to the metal Going 185 Rebel girl She's wild and she's free Can't be held down She's a sunset baby Going so fast She drives them crazy Foot to the floor Making you disappear Head in the clouds Miss "leave me be" She's alright She's a sunset baby Going so fast She drives them crazy Foot to the floor Making you disappear Head in the clouds Miss "leave me be" She's alright She's a sunset baby

I remember when we first met you had on old black shoes and a cigarette I remember when we first met only kids only kids that night slowly plays through my mind softly I said to you are you the one? and you said forever young I'll stay with you forever young I'll be with you forever young I'll stay with you forever young I'll be with you I remember when we first met you had on old black shoes and a cigarette and I remember when we first met we took that old black truck down the county line so many times we play stupid games stupid games all around me are these memories take me to a time we didn't know we didn't know doo doo doo (we didn't know) (we didn't know) I remember when we first met you had on old black shoes and a cigarette and I remember when we first met we took that old black truck down the county line doo doo doo
