Long Shot

The waves sound like cannons tonight
Aiming straight for your heart
I strike the fuse in the fading light
Just as the summer goes dark
And everybody’s got a fall back plan
A place to be when the lights go down
Girl, you’ve always been my main event
My show stopper in this riptide town
I know it feels like a long shot, baby
Two broken hearts in a leap of faith
A faint heart never won fair lady
And losing you is more than I can take
And I won’t sit on the shoreline
As love slips through our hands
And hearts break on the coast of California
They wash away like foot prints in the sand
The bright colors of the boardwalk lights
Shine on your face
All of the noise from the carnival rides
Can’t drown out the pain
But call me out on my hard luck, baby
I need redemption tonight
Scatter your troubles like stars on the water
Let 'em go with the tide
I know it feels like a long shot, baby
Two broken hearts in a leap of faith
A faint heart never won fair lady
And losing you is more than I can take
And I won’t sit on the shoreline
As love slips through our hands
And hearts break on the coast of California
They wash away like foot prints in the sand
I know it feels like a long shot, baby
Two broken hearts in a leap of faith
A faint heart never won fair lady
And losing you is more than I can take
And I won’t sit on the shoreline
As love slips through our hands
And hearts break on the coast of California
They wash away like foot prints in the sand
In the sand
