[Verse 1] Golden sand on a California afternoon Your hand in mine, singing an old love tune Waves are whispering secrets in our ears Two hearts beating closer year by year [Verse 2] We walked the boardwalk, lights begin to glow Santa Monica Pier, where the wild winds blow Cotton candy air and the carousel spins Your eyes on mine, pulling me right in [Chorus] Carnal Carnival, under the neon lights Kisses getting deeper in the warm summer night Hands start to wander where the crowds can see Losing all our senses in this sweet fantasy [Verse 3] Pressed up against the railing, bodies feeling bold The ocean roaring but our fire's uncontrolled Almost crossed the line right there in plain view Hearts racing faster, me and you [Chorus] Carnal Carnival, spinning out of control Almost gave the whole damn pier quite a show Till we felt the eyes, the whispers and the stares Snapped back to reality, caught unaware [Bridge] We laughed like children running down the wooden planks Your dress in the wind, me holding your hand
