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
