Lyrics
0:00If I could bottle up the sea breeze
0:02I would take it over to your house
0:04And pour it loose through your garden
0:06So the hinges on your windows would rust and colour
0:10Like the boats pulled up on the sand for the summer
0:13And your sweet clean clothes would go stiff on the line
0:16And there'd be sand in your pockets
0:18And nothing on your mind
0:26But every year it gets a little bit harder
0:29To get back to the feeling of when we were fifteen
0:32And we could jump in the river upstream
0:34And let the current carry us to the beginning where
0:37The river met the sea again
0:40And all our days were a sun-drenched haze
0:42While the salt spray crusted on the window panes
0:52We should be living like we lived that summer
0:55I wanna live like we live in the summer
0:58We should be living like we lived that summer
1:02I wanna live like we live in the summer
1:05We should be living like we lived that summer
1:09I wanna live like we live in the summer
1:16And I'll remember that summer as the right one
1:19The storms made the pavement steam like a kettle
1:22And our first goodbye always seemed like hours
1:25In the car park in between my house and yours
1:29And if the summer holds a song we might sing forever
1:32Then the winter holds a bite we'd never felt before
1:41We should be living like we lived that summer
1:44I wanna live like we live in the summer
1:48We should be living like we lived that summer
1:51I wanna live like we live in the summer
1:55We should be living like we lived that summer
1:58I wanna live like we live in the summer
2:05But time is like the ocean
2:11You can only hold a little in your hands
2:18So we swim before we're broken
2:25Before our bones become
2:27Black coral on the sand
2:36We should be living like we lived that summer
2:40I wanna live like we lived in the summer
2:43We should be living like we lived that summer
2:46I wanna live like we live in the summer
2:50We should be living like we lived that summer
2:53I wanna live like we live in the summer
3:00If I could bottle up the sea breeze
3:02I would take it over to your house
3:04And pour it loose through your garden
If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it over to your house And pour it loose through your garden So the hinges on your windows would rust and colour Like the boats pulled up on the sand for the summer And your sweet clean clothes would go stiff on the line And there'd be sand in your pockets And nothing on your mind But every year it gets a little bit harder To get back to the feeling of when we were fifteen And we could jump in the river upstream And let the current carry us to the beginning where The river met the sea again And all our days were a sun-drenched haze While the salt spray crusted on the window panes We should be living like we lived that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer We should be living like we lived that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer We should be living like we lived that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer And I'll remember that summer as the right one The storms made the pavement steam like a kettle And our first goodbye always seemed like hours In the car park in between my house and yours And if the summer holds a song we might sing forever Then the winter holds a bite we'd never felt before We should be living like we lived that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer We should be living like we lived that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer We should be living like we lived that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer But time is like the ocean You can only hold a little in your hands So we swim before we're broken Before our bones become Black coral on the sand We should be living like we lived that summer I wanna live like we lived in the summer We should be living like we lived that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer We should be living like we lived that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it over to your house And pour it loose through your garden
