I remember when I met you for the first time
You had a leather jacket and a scar on your upper lip
Now did you ever dream of the desert
Did I ever dream of making a mess?

Could you really care for me, he said
We met on the beach at night
You were the girl who played the drums
Could you really care for me, he said
Could you, could you, could I ever matter to you?

I make a wish for the summer to start
You paint my face in the warm days
You wanna lead a different life
Ooh then, hurry to love me
And you don't know it yet
But I'm, I'm gonna ride that wave
And each break is a different
You gotta hurry to love me

You were the vision of a fire, let nobody in
To feel the heat next to you
You were the key to the heart
And I was no child no more
We were so poetic and so true
Oh could you really care for me, he said
Could you really care for me
He said, could you, could you?
More than you'll ever know

We make a wish for the summer to start
I paint my face in the warm days
You wanna lead a different life
Ooh then, hurry to love me
And you don't know it yet
But you, you're gonna ride that wave too
But each break is a different
I have to hurry to love you
Oh I have to hurry to love you
Yeah yeah I have to hurry to love you
I have to hurry to love you
(oh baby baby baby baby baby)

I remember when I held you for the last time
That summer night thunderstorm
