[Intro]
[Verse]
Open season on a broken heart
This is the year they take the summer apart
There is a magic to the carnival arts
And I can hear the sound
[Verse]
Is it the wind through the wonder-wheel
Is it the science of the way we feel
Is it the quiet of that old appeal
Will you be mine again?
[Chorus]
My love, my love, are you on a winter beach tonight
Waiting on a last chance rocket ride over the boardwalk
Follow the noise, no one but me and the neighbourhood boys
Will remember where we were when this went down
[Verse]
The ocean calls us like weâve never been
One hundred games that we will never win
Close your eyes and hear the teacups spin
As it begins to snow
[Verse]
And if weâre careful thatâs not all youâll hear
The mermaids watch us steal a souvenir
And whisper moral warnings in our ear
As we are heading home
[Chorus]
My love, my love, are you on a winter beach tonight
Waiting on a last chance rocket ride over the boardwalk
Follow the noise, no one but me and the neighbourhood boys
Will remember where we were when this went down
[Verse]
So take a deeper breath letâs hear you sing
And reach your hand out for an iron ring
Youâll get another chance, oh, thatâs the thing
We will be back again
[Verse]
The summer comes around on any clock
Awash with bathing suits and polka dots
Weâll ride the subways to their final stops
To see the sea again
