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
