I was in between the ocean and next to you
In front of a real life postcard it seemed
We watched the sun sink into the land
And the colors dissolve into the water and sand
Peacefulness found me today
I fell asleep to one thousand bird songs
And the songs of the ocean
And you dared me to write a happy song so I did
Now you're smiling back at me
Have you ever seen heaven i asked 'cuz I think I saw something today
Something like heaven
We were reading about shadows of reality
The unfamiliar feeling that perfection brings
The never ending second sliding away sunlight stretched tight over everything
And now I'm sitting here on the best years of my life
Wondering where I'm going next and whose coming along
Singing to the sounds of a summer night
But the weather only pretending it won't be here for long
[Chorus]
