lyrics

We spent the morning hiking our boards across the rocks
The air is hanging still and it's too early to talk
You're excited and I'm glad to come along
The water's cold but this is Summer's last hurrah

The salty water's made your hair begin to curl
There's nowhere I would rather be in this decrepit world
And how could you ever find another girl to bring you here

Is it wrong the only reason that I came was to try to win you over again
Is it wrong how much I plotted and I schemed just for another attempt
And I know that you're afraid of what might happen in the end
You held me close but then changed your mind said we're better off as friends
But if there's rules that you don't want to break or follow
We can bend

Got sunburns on our backs as we rattled with the sound
We gathered sideways glances as you chased me through the crowd
You were laughing when I stopped
To turn around

Is it wrong the only reason that I came was to try to win you over again
Is it wrong how much I plotted and I schemed just for another attempt
And I know you've learned the hardest lessons
I overheard drunken confessions
I'm sorry that I haven't learned them yet
But if there's rules that you don't want to break or follow
We can bend
