Lyrics for Our Last Swim In The Ocean

We're leaving early to avoid traffic Your hair is golden, when I touch it it's static I sleep in the backseat, I wave at a school bus You look back and smile at me, the E6 runs through us There you go, I've set the scene for you Now it's your turn to remember Our last swim in the ocean On our last day of the summer Our last swim in the ocean On our last day together, baby You pick up a walnut, and with two fingers you crack it Put it in my pocket of my lumberman jacket You carve our names in, on a board in Nimis Our hands where they shouldn't been You think someone might've seen us? I recreate this memory just for you Now it's your turn to remember Our last swim in the ocean On our last day of the summer, baby Our last swim in the ocean On our last night together If you should ever forget this day All the oceans will evaporate If you should ever forget this day This day would stop existing in a way If you should ever forget this day All the oceans will evaporate If you should ever forget this day This day would stop existing in a way But I would recreate this day for you Now it's your turn to remember Our last swim in the ocean On our last day of the summer Our last swim in the ocean On our last night together
