Trophy Scars - Angels lyrics

The salty air of July '96 I bought a 12 speed just to impress a chick Back in '96 We're eating ice cream at the docks You let it drip all down your chin You want me to lick it off I rode my bike all night just to see you Across the bridge outside of Pt. Pleasant In the night People would say "There's that boy, there's that boy again!" There's that boy in the night People would say "There's that boy in the night." The summer breeze of August '96 I spent my nights out late at night a bit For the hell of it She's two years older than myself Sandy hair with the face of an angel Dancing all by herself By 9 PM we were fixed on the boardwalk Promises brooding with doubt and resilience What a beautiful night People would say "There's that boy and that girl again!" "There's those two in the night!" People would say "There's that boy in the night." I don't believe we ever spoke again The summer flames of 1996 Now smoldering ashes People would say that they had someone like that To love only at night But not like that girl, not like my best nights, no.
