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 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 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 last week wide open Upside down beside the ocean I should've known where it was goin' Still tryin' to keep my heart on the tracks And 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 that old beach roller coaster Like that old beach roller coaster
