Skatepark Serenade Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am G D
We met under the glow of a half-moon night,
Am G D
You kicked-flip my heart, and it felt so right.
Am G D
Your grip tape grin, and your trucks so tight,
Am G D
I knew then, this was our endless night.
(Chorus)
C G D
Skatepark serenade, the anthem of our brigade,
Am G D
Beneath the starry parade, our love won’t ever fade.
C G D
Through half-pipes and heartache, no grind could ever break,
Am G D
This skatepark serenade, our love’s midnight escapade.
(Verse 2)
Am G D
Screaming wheels echoed our silent sighs,
Am G D
In the asphalt ocean, under neon skies.
Am G D
We carved our dreams, in boards and cries,
Am G D
In this urban jungle, we found our high.
(Chorus)
C G D
Skatepark serenade, the anthem of our brigade,
Am G D
Beneath the starry parade, our love won’t ever fade.
C G D
Through half-pipes and heartache, no grind could ever break,
Am G D
This skatepark serenade, our love’s midnight escapade.
