Johnny Foreigner - Things We Should Have Left on the Beach lyrics

(oh no) i think it started when you
Told me you'd miss me
Finally slept and dreamt of what could be
Woke up intertwined with each other
Promises held and broken forever

And what we build on the beach
We will lose to the sea

Stay close, how it's never a question
And all our best memories
Can never be mentioned
Does he know my name, what did he say?
Are we down, are we down to a message a day?
Holiday romances make for terrible friends
Make terrible friends, make terrible friends!
And as the wind whips round yr adopted town
What you sacrifice for stable
Only drags you down
Lovers and conspirators make terrible friends
Make terrible friends, make terrible friends!

Dear jon, i fell in love with yr girlfriend
(oh no) i'm sorry it happened but i'm
Not sorry i've fallen
Take heart for i make weak competition
All 90s teen movies and naive ambition

And what we build on the beach
We will lose to the sea

Stay close oh how loaded a question
You've plenty of friends but you
Don't watch them undressing

Does he know my name, what did he say?
Are we down, are we down to a message a day?
Holiday romances make for terrible friends
Make terrible friends, make terrible friends!
And as the wind whips round yr adopted town
What you sacrifice for stable
Only drags you down
Lovers and conspirators make terrible friends
Make terrible friends, make terrible friends!
And what we build in our hearts we
Will not lose to the sea
I'm pretty sure yr forgetting me (oh no)

But i worked it out: the last however many
Months of fleeting friendships, goodnights
And good nights, on that
Beach under those stars i would
Have spilled everything to
The first pretty face i fell across and
At least i picked the prettiest

Does he know my name, what did he say?
Are we down, are we down to a message a day?
Holiday romances make for terrible friends
Make terrible friends, make terrible friends!
And as the wind whips round yr adopted town
What you sacrifice for stable
Only drags you down
Lovers and conspirators make terrible friends
Make terrible friends, make terrible friends!

(how was that?)
