Another car running fast Another song on the beach I take a trip through the past When summer's way out of reach Another walk in the park When I need something to do And when I feel all alone Sometimes I think about you You take my hand Smile and say you don't understand To look in your eyes And see what you feel And then realize that nothing's for real 'Cause you know it's just Your imagination running wild Another bucket of sand Another wave and the pier I miss the way that I used To call the shots around here You know it would've been nice If I had something to do I took a trip through the past And got to spend it with you You take my hand Smile and say you don't understand To look in your eyes And see what you feel And then realize that nothing's for real 'Cause you know it's just Your imagination running wild
