Foolish Things

I was standing on Sunset Boulevard
Cool wind in my hair
The warm beaches the carnival rides
Had it all in the palm of my hand

Long days in Malibu
Warm nights in her bed
Can still the whispers alone in the dark
Of the foolish things we said

Give away your love
Give away your heart
Give away your everything
Follow the footsteps
Of boys and girls
Who once believed in foolish things

I watched as the fires burned
And the hills turned gray as the sea
I knew I would never return
And neither would she

Give away your love
Give away your heart
Give away your everything
Follow the footsteps
Of boys and girls
Who once believed in foolish things

Gonna drive on out to the desert tonight
Under a blanket of October stars
Gonna search for all these dreams we shared
In the shadows of roadside bars

In the pale moonlight of palm tree groves
Tell me where you are
Foolish things will burn through the night
They will never let you go
Foolish things will burn through the night
They will never let you go

Give away your love
Give away your heart
Give away your everything
Follow the footsteps
Of boys and girls
Who once believed in foolish things

Give away your heart
Give away your mind
Give away the foolish things we left behind
Follow the footsteps
Of boys and girls
Who still believe in foolish things

I was standing on Sunset Boulevard
Cool wind in my hair
The warm beaches the carnival rides
You were right there
