Maybe After Summer

Palm trees reaching into the salty air, now California sand underneath a galactic flame The tides in motion reclaim the castle of sand, now Everything changes, yet everything stays the same Na na na na You know the grass gives way to the beach and sand And the ocean gives its way to land Will you teach me the nature of change? Cuz I don't want to be the same When will I get her off my mind? Maybe after summer Yeah Caught up in the riptide of my mistakes Even a child outruns the ocean waves Na na na na na There's a wall of houses on the shore Yeah, but no one lives there anymore There's no point in looking at past mistakes A backwards hat won't cast shade When will I find my peace inside? Maybe after summer Yeah California, please be good Return me to my childhood Strings of light hung from the trees Replace the missing light in me Light in me Yeah You know the grass gives way to the beach and sand And the ocean gives its way to land Will you teach me the nature of change? Cuz I don't want to be the same There's a wall of houses on the shore Yeah, but no one lives there anymore There's no point in looking at past mistakes A backwards hat won't cast shade When will I find that missing light? Maybe after summer Yeah
