"Roller Coaster" Lyrics

She had a cross around her neck and a flower in her hand
That I picked from the side of Thomas Drive on our way to the sand
We found an old wooden chair still warm from the sun
Pushed it back, gave me a kiss with Bacardi on her lips and I was done

And we spent that week wide open
Upside down beside the ocean
I didn't know where it was going
Just trying to keep my heart on the tracks
I should have known that kind of feeling
Would last longer than that week did
Blown away and barely breathing
Sunday came and it was over
Now she's got me twisted
Like an old, beach roller coaster

The rest of those days turned into long, crazy nights
When the music got loud, we'd sneak away from the crowd
Under the boardwalk lights
And with all things we said, what I just can't get past
Is the way we let it in, now I'm wonderin' where she is
Knowin' I can't get that goodbye back

She's like a song playin' over and over
In my mind where I still hold her
I had the chance and I should have told her

When we spent that week wide open
Upside down beside the ocean
I should have known where it was going
Still trying to keep my heart on the tracks
And I should have known that kind of feeling
Would last longer than that week did
Blown away and barely breathing
When Sunday came and it was over
Now she's got me twisted
Hey, I'm still twisted like that old, beach roller coaster
Like that old, beach roller coaster
