On the wooden steps where the paint is thin
I found the key we forgot to turn in
Under the porch light,
flickering pale
Just a quiet sign of a broken trail And we are dancing
in the cool August air
Two steps forward to the warmth we share (ooh-ooh)
At two in the morning,
a map in his hand A tourist asks how to reach the
sand But before the music can fade or bend He walks away
into the dark end
But this is not about a key or a guide
It is about the clay
spinning inside
We spent hours trying to shape the mold
Only to watch the edges turn cold
We were just trying to hold on
Before the summer was gone (ooh-ooh-ooh)
