We'll build a house by the shore Cause you know that I want so much more Than life with a picket fence Surrounded by our reckless friends The tides are getting high, but The love we made will surely survive the storm Because you know that this means so much more, and Oh! These young hearts beat from miles apart, and Oh! Come what may, our love will find a way Oooh, though we're terrified of it I still remember when we left this little town You whispered softly in my ear No matter where life takes us You always have my heart my dear The water swept us from home We were caught beneath the undertow I drowned in you And you drowned in me too Our ship is setting sail in this everlasting lover's tale It's what we'll tell when our bones are old and frail, but Oh! You're a light my darkened eyes can see, and Oh! In your arms is where I want to be Oooh, though we're terrified of it I still remember when we left this little town You whispered softly in my ear No matter where life takes us You always have my heart my dear Whoa, whoa! Not even the waves can hold us down- Not even ones who say it's wrong- Can't keep me away from you. Oooh, though we're terrified of it I still remember when we left this little town You whispered softly in my ear No matter where life takes us You always have my heart my dear I still remember when we left this little town You whispered softly in my ear No matter where life takes us You always have my heart my dear
