LYRIC FOR SALE

By That Beach Sound Cartel

[Verse 1]
A buddy said, “Hey, that girl over there is looking right at you.”
I followed his eyes. She was standing by the bar,
Blonde hair and a red dress, burnin’ against her tan..
Her eyes were ocean blue.

I walked on over, acting cool as can be
her perfume hit me
floral and soft, almost heavenly
And then I stopped, I said hello
she smiled, grabbed my hand and said let’s go.

[Pre-Chorus]
Slow dancin’ while the same song played,
over and over
Her lips by my ear while, she sang the words softly
‘Crimson and Clover’.

[Chorus]
Strawberry lip gloss,
those eyes, ocean blue,
Lord, I still see her,
the way young lovers do.

She smelled like heaven,
I was lost in a trance,
Sixteen years old…
Could this be romance?

[Verse 2]
Her parents left town for a weekend trip,
Alone in her room,
She climbed on my lap
with that gloss on her lips.

Bedroom lights on,
young and wild,
Thought I’d found an angel
for a little while.

Then her mom walked in
and yelled out her name,
I jumped out that bedroom window
like my life changed.

Barefoot in the rain,
bleedin’ from the thorns,
Runnin’ through the darkness
before her daddy got home.

[Chorus]
Strawberry lip gloss,
those eyes, ocean blue,
Lord, I still see her,
like the summer we knew.

She smelled like heaven,
I was lost in a trance,
Sixteen years old…
Could this be romance?

[Verse 3]
Three years later
she showed up again,
Under parking lot lights…
and my heart gave in.

Backseat windows fogged up,
That Florida summer heat,
Then police lights flashed
while her lips were on me.

And Lord…
when that cop yelled out her name
I knew right then,
this love was cursed,
I’ll probably never see her again.

Seems like every time we got close enough
to touch the life we wanted,
Somethin’ came crashin’ through
and left us haunted.

[Chorus]
Strawberry lip gloss,
those eyes, ocean blue,
Lord, I still see her,
after all we’ve been through.

She smelled like heaven,
I was lost in a trance,
Nineteen years old…
This is a romance.

[Bridge]
Years rolled by
like they always do,
Till I saw her one last time
in that yellow sundress view.

She kissed me again…
but the spark wasn’t there,
Funny how memories shine brighter
than the moments we compare.

Every time we got close enough
to touch the life we wanted,
Somethin’ came crashin’ through
and left us haunted.

[Final Chorus]
Strawberry lip gloss,
those eyes, ocean blue,
Lord, I still see her,
after all we’ve been through.

The years had changed us both,
The spell was gone at last,
At twenty-two years old,
our romance was in the past.

[Outro]
Strawberry lip gloss…
Eyes of ocean Blue…
Some loves disappear…
but the memories never do….
