She had a cross
around her neck
And a flower in her hand
That I picked from the side
of Thomas Drive
On our way to the sand
We found an old wooden chair
Still warm from the sun
Pushed it back
Gave me a kiss
With Bacardi on her lips
And I was done
And we spent that week
Wide open
Upside down
Beside the ocean
I didn't know
Where it was goin'
Just tryin' to keep my heart
on the tracks
I should've known
that kind of feelin'
Would last longer
than that week did
Blown away
and barely breathin'
Sunday came and it was over
Now she's got me twisted
Like an old beach
roller coaster
The rest of those days
Turned into long crazy nights
When the music got loud
We'd sneak away
from the crowd
Under the boardwalk lights
And with all the things we said
What I just can't get past
Is the way we let it end
Now I'm wonderin'
where she is
Knowin' I can't get that
goodbye back
We spent that week wide open
Upside down
Beside the ocean
I didn't know
Where it was goin'
Just tryin' to keep my heart
on the tracks
I should've known
that kind of feelin'
Would last longer
than that week did
Blown away
and barely breathin'
Sunday came and it was over
Now she's got me twisted
Like an old beach
Roller coaster
She's like a song playin'
Over and over in my mind
Where I still hold her
I had the chance
and I should've told her
When we spent that week
Wide open
Upside down
Beside the ocean
I didn't know
Where it was goin'
Still tryin' to keep my heart
on the tracks
I should've known
That kind of feelin'
Would last longer
Than that week did
Blown away
and barely breathin'
When Sunday came
and it was over
Now she's got me twisted
Yeah I'm still twisted
Like an old beach
Roller coaster
Like an old beach
Roller coaster
