He got loved up on the seashore
Kissing with a girl he'd never met before
Food was sparse but the drink was plenty
Jack was sixteen and Jill had just turned twenty
Lying down on the midnight sand
He said to give her the sky if she held his hand
She counted every star in the sky and said
I, I don't want that I want you instead
I want you instead
I want you instead
I want you instead
You make me feel real, real, real
You make me feel real, real, real
She got loved on the seashore
Kissing with a boy she'd never met before
Food was sparse but the booze was plenty
Jill was sixteen and Jack had just turned twenty
Lying down on the midnight sand
He said to give her the sky if she held his hand
She counted every star in the sky and said
I, I don't want that I want you instead
I want you instead
I want you instead
I want you instead
You make me feel real, real, real
You make me feel real, real, real
I want you instead
I want you instead
I want you instead
You make me feel real, real, real
You make me feel real, real, real
He got loved on the seashore
Kissing with a girl he'd never met before
She got loved on the seashore
Kissing with a boy she'd never met before
