The Beach - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Stay up late to watch the stars

Sneak away to amusement parks

Autumn leaves, summer nights

Carousels for two, and I said

"Hello mister ticket man

I’d like two tickets for this one, too"

Floral tees and cut up jeans

Glasses with the glass missing

Movie theaters never seemed

To be so goddamn boring

Before I ever heard you say, "I love you"

Well I love you too

And I will wait, for you

Oh, on the beach yeah, I will wait for you

We get lost in Amsterdam

We tour the east side holding hands

Oh your eyes filled with the city, university

Some day we’ll be lucky enough to call this home

Dinner out and breakfast in

I watch your hands draw where we’ve been

Oh, I’ve been a fool at this carnival for two

I remember when you held my hand

And said, "I love you"

Well I love you too

And I will wait, for you

Oh, on the beach yeah, I will wait for you

Behind that crooked smile

I feel a little sad, haven't talked to you in a while

But still I say, and I’ll repeat myself one day

It’s funny how this little town turned out okay

It’s funny how, for you

Oh, on the beach yeah, I will wait for you

(Ah-ooh)
