Lyrics

Ben Zanotto

[Chorus]

There was romance in the air for sure

There was romance in the air

When the autumn sun lights Sharmon Palms

There was romance in the air

[Verse 1]

Sitting on the steps, shit-head drunks

We had a crew and we called it The Skunx

Punk rockers, skinhead, misfits and misunderstood kids

Me and Ben, we spent years by the palm trees drinking beers

When the center of the universe was a street called Sharmon Palms

[Chorus]

There was romance in the air for sure

There was romance in the air

When the autumn sun lights Sharmon Palms

There was romance in the air

[Bridge]

Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

[Verse 2]

Youth was exhausted, some take it harder then most

My best friend he crumbled and he withered away

I went back to the palm trees, the safest place that Ben could ever be

Mixed his ashes with the dirt, he'll be safe there

[Chorus]

There was romance in the air for sure

There was romance in the air

When the autumn sun lights Sharmon Palms

There was romance in the air

[Outro]

Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
