[Verse 1] We were young, we were wild You had that look, I had that smile Barefoot underneath the moon Swore forever would come soon You took my hand, we ran down Laughing where the waves came 'round With your finger, you wrote my name I wrote yours right next to the same [Pre-Chorus] We didn't know what love could be We only knew what you did to me [Chorus] Our names in the sand Your hand in my hand We thought it would last forever We were young, we were fools Breaking all the rules And I still remember The tide came in Washed it away But it couldn't take That first love away [Verse 2] Years have gone like a desert wind But sometimes I'm sixteen again I close my eyes and I'm back there Salt on my skin, you in my hair Maybe forever was never the plan Maybe love was just holding hands Maybe some things don't have to stay To never really fade away [Pre-Chorus] We didn't know what love could be But you left a little piece of me [Chorus] Our names in the sand Your hand in my hand We thought it would last forever We were young, we were fools Breaking all the rules And I still remember The tide came in Washed it away But it couldn't take That first love away [Bridge – psychedelic, half-time feel] Ooooh... I can see it I can feel it Like a photograph inside my head Ooooh... The waves keep rolling But something's holding Every word we never said [Final Chorus] Our names in the sand Your hand in my hand Two hearts against the weather The ocean came But I stayed the same That moment lives forever Our names in the sand... Our names in the sand... The tide took the names But it couldn't take the flame [Outro] Barefoot... Moonlight... Your name beside mine...
