Lyrics
I went down to Santa Barbara Pier
With a broken heart from searching everywhere
So imagine my surprise to find her there
Singing Summer hymns in the Winter air
She took off my clothes and reeled me in
To taste the sugar on her tongue and the salt on her skin
And all this time I'm wondering where she could've been
When I tried to ask her she was gone again
It's like I'm dreaming in colours I never knew existed
And the minute she leaves me I'm wide awake
So now I'm begging for options to knock myself unconscious
'Cause I can't sleep when she's away
She's got me on the lookout every day
Like I'm the first day of Spring and she's a drop of rain
And as much as I would love to lose this waiting game
You know I'd wait for forever for whenever she decides to stay
It's like I'm dreaming in colours I never knew existed
And the minute she leaves me I'm wide awake
So now I'm begging for options to knock myself unconscious
'Cause I can't sleep when she's away
She knows that I love her, she knows that I care
I just want to know she feels the same when I'm not there
If only we talked about it, I wouldn't be so scared
If only I could find her, find her
It's like I'm dreaming in colours I never knew existed
And the minute she leaves me I'm wide awake
So now I'm begging for options to knock myself unconscious
'Cause I can't sleep when she's away
'Cause I can't sleep when she's away
