[Verse 1] She walked in like summer on barefoot sand Salt in her hair, sunlight in her hands Laugh like waves on a shoreline night He stood in shadows, afraid of the light He was pale like a midnight sky Eyes that never learned to shine But she smiled and the tide rolled in And something warm woke under his skin [Pre-Chorus] She said, "Come closer, don’t be afraid" He felt the sun in the shade she made [Chorus] She was the beach, golden and wild He was the dark, lonely and mild She kissed his lips where the daylight burned And the night inside him slowly turned From cold to warm, from lost to brave She taught the moon how to love the day She pulled his heart out of the grave She loved a suntanned vampire [Verse 2] She danced where the ocean met his fear Pulled him closer, "You’re safe right here" He felt the heat in her ocean eyes Like sunrise breaking a thousand nights Sand in his shoes, sun on his face He never thought he'd feel that place Where the cold retreats, the shadows fall And love feels brighter than it all [Pre-Chorus] She said, "You glow when you let me in" And he felt daylight touch his skin [Chorus] She was the beach, golden and wild He was the dark, lonely and mild She kissed his lips where the daylight burned And the night inside him slowly turned From cold to warm, from lost to brave She taught the moon how to love the day She pulled his heart out of the grave She loved a suntanned vampire [Bridge] He never thought he'd feel the sun Never thought he'd be the one Running through waves, laughing loud Standing bright inside a crowd She turned midnight into gold Turned his silence into bold And every sunset painted him Half shadow, half her summer wind [Final Chorus] She was the beach, endless and free He was the dark, learning to be She held his hand where the tide ran high And daylight stayed in his midnight sky From cold to warm, from lost to brave She made the night no longer a cage She kissed the boy she came to save She loved a suntanned vampire [Outro] She was the beach… He was the night… Now he's glowing… In her sunlight.
