Lyrics

I was talking to the girl next door
She was smiling like she had before
Playing with her hair, walking down the stairs
Is there someone just for me -
That could make me feel
So wild and free

Tell me, where's the wonder that I used to have?
Endless summers a contagious laugh
Something tells me things could really change tonight
There's a fire in my soul, it was winter not so long ago

Give me a reason, take me by surprise on a summer's day
Give me a reason, darlin', yeah,
I know that you can take my breath away....
