Lyrics & Translation
[English]
(Oh, Oh)(Take me back, take me back)
(Oh yeah)
(Back to summer paradise)
My heart is sinking
As I'm lifting
Up above the clouds away from you
And I can't believe I'm leaving
Oh I don't kno-kno-know what I'm gonna do
But someday
I will find my way back
To where your name
Is written in the sand
'Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Say la-ta-ta-ta-ta
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat (heartbeat)
Oh-oh (oh-oh)
I'll be there in a heartbeat (heartbeat)
Oh-oh (oh-oh)
(Tell 'em)
My soul is broken
Streets are frozen
I can't stop these feelings melting through
And I'd give away a thousand days, oh
Just to have another one with you
(What'd you say?)
Well real life can wait(it can wait)
We're crashing like waves (uh-huh)
We're playing in the sand (me and you)
Holding your hand (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
'Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Say la-ta-ta-ta-ta
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat (heartbeat)
Oh-oh (oh-oh)
I'll be there in a heartbeat (heartbeat)
Oh-oh (oh-oh)
Yeah I remember summer mornings
And summer evenings
Now you're right next to me
And I am freezing
Was it real? Oh baby tell me, was I dreaming?
How can you show me paradise
When I'm leaving?
Now my heartbeat is sinking
Hope's shrinking
When I try to speak no words
Lip-syncing
Hope this is not just wishful thinking
Tell me that you care
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
Someday
I will find my way back
To where your name
Is written in the sand...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go
'Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye (no-no, no)
Say la-ta-ta-ta-ta
Tell me how to get back to (back to)
Back to summer paradise with you (yeah)
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
I remember where we first kissed
How I didn't wanna leave your lips
And how I've never ever felt so high (so high)
Say la-ta-ta-ta-ta
Tell me how to get back to (back to)
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat (heartbeat) yeah
Oh-oh (oh-oh)
I'll be there in a heartbeat (heartbeat)
Summer paradise, Oh-oh (oh-oh)
I'll be there in a heartbeat
