Last Summer
Given the overwhelming success of This Is How You Move Me, I'd like us to write another collaboration. Let's make it sexier than ever, eh?
Last Summer
I remember it like it was yesterday,
Your hair was much shorter back then,
We took a trip down to Sandy Bay,
And we went skinny dipping again,
The water was cool, and clear and fresh,
I rubbed sun lotion into your back,
But I didn't know that it smelled like fear,
And prompted that Shark to attack
Last summer, I remember, we were there
Last summer, you looked glorious, I swear
Last summer, it was the last ever summer
That you could get around on your own, without a wheelchair

The very next month we went there again,
I lay you down on your back
I've never seen anyone re-live so much pain,
As when the sand got right up your crack
You yelped and cried like a lone baby seal,
Your blond locks went a strange shade of ginger,
Your skin got red like a fresh slice of veal,
You tried to hit my but couldn't because you're a paraplegic and I'm a ninja.*
Last summer, I remember, we were there
Last summer, you looked glorious, I swear
Last summer, it was the last ever summer
That you could get around on your own, without a wheelchair
*I know this line is way too long, but I liked it from a comedy perspective (and I had to write ninja in there somewhere), plus at a stretch it could be a bridge to a something else, like the chorus, or perhaps the meaning of life. :)
Even though you were in a wheelchair
I often took you to the dance
And then one day in september
I bought us plane tickets to France
But when we arrived at the airport
You couldn't get into the airplane
Although I still had my ticket,
you had to leave and take the train
Last summer, I remember, we were there
Last summer, you looked glorious, I swear
Last summer, it was the last ever summer
That you could get around on your own, without a wheelchair
Ooh, 3rd line in 2nd verse would probs work better if changed to something like "And while I still had my ticket".
Yes yes.
