lyrics

(waves, then a bottle opener's psst)
Listen... it's too hot to be shy.

You flipped the cap off with your ring
Cold cola, glass bead-sweating
You drank your half and passed it slow
Now every sip's an undertow
(psst... ahh)

The afternoon has nowhere to be
And neither, baby, do we
(do we, do we)

Hold on, hold on to me
(hold on)
The tide can take the rest, agreed?
Hold on, hold on to me
Barefoot on a burning street
Hold on, hold on to me
Sweet as sugar in the heat
Hold on, hold on to me
(ay... hold on)

My little moped, faded green
Two helmets and a cracked windscreen
You climbed on laughing at the smoke
Your arms around me — that's the joke
(putt... putt... on purpose)

The street lamps blink themselves awake
Let's give the moon a small heartbreak
(stay out, stay out)

Hold on, hold on to me
(hold on)
The tide can take the rest, agreed?
Hold on, hold on to me
Barefoot on a burning street
Hold on, hold on to me
Sweet as sugar in the heat
Hold on, hold on to me
(ay... hold on)

If summer's got an ending planned
It'll have to pry your hand
Out of my salty hand
(no, no... not yet)

Hold on, hold on to me
Hold on, hold on to me
Hold on, hold on to me
Hold on, hold on to me
(hold on!)

(psst... ahh)
Hold on... hold on...
(the moped won't start — good)
