[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"

[Chorus]
Well I love you too
And I will wait, for you
And I will wait, for you
And I will wait, for you
Oh, on the beach yeah, I will wait for you

[Verse 2]
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"

[Chorus]
Well I love you too
And I will wait, for you
And I will wait, for you
And I will wait, for you
Oh, on the beach yeah, I will wait for you

[Bridge]
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
[Alternate Chorus]
It’s funny how, for you
It’s funny how, for you
It’s funny how, for you
Oh, on the beach yeah, I will wait for you
Oh, on the beach yeah, I will wait for you
(Ah-ooh)
