Your laugh was louder than that roller coaster ride
So I did my best to keep you rollin'
The click and the clack of those rusted tracks pulling us to the sky
And the silence at the top where we stopped for a moment
We fell down...
I don't know where you are, who you're with or what you're singin' along to tonight
But if you're all alone and you need a song
Baby you oughta try tuning in
To the crash of the waves on those Carolina days
You and me saying we could stay like this forever
I listen to you in my memory
Do you ever listen to me?
That summer record still spinning round inside my mind
You singing along with the band at that beach cantina
Yeah, I tried to drown the sound of your goodbye
But that last kiss is worth repeating
I don't know where you are, who you're with or what you're singin' along to tonight
But if you're all alone and you need a song
Baby you oughta try tuning in
To the crash of the waves on those Carolina days
You and me saying we could stay like this forever
I listen to you in my memory
Do you ever listen to me?
(Listen to me)
You ever turn your head to that red sunset
And start tapping along to the beat
Of American Girl,
Like you're right back then in that melody
I don't know where you are, who you're with or what you're singin' along to tonight
But if you're all alone and you need a song
Baby you oughta try tuning in
To the crash of the waves on those Carolina days
You and me saying we could stay like this forever
I listen to you in my memory
Do you ever listen to me?
(Listen to me)
