Mirage 1. Mirage Mirage (verse 1) this heat wave has definitely been a hot one I'm ready for summer to be done I shouldn't be like that where will we go today, what will we do? we're just laying on the porch amongst the mosquitos is that an oasis I see up the road just ahead? or my mind playing tricks on me again? I just want to watch fireworks together and celebrate our independence and whatever else summer sends us (chorus) mirage, you can't see it until it fades away up close we have nothing left to lose let's follow it anyway the closer we get, the farther away we seem to be I don't care even if it's hot I'll follow you any time, anywhere (end chorus) (verse 2) dive into the sapphire spring of water you're sunburned and I'm just burned out we need to cool off we're too heated keep the romance on the stove though I like to enjoy it warm we tell each other ghost stories while we're out camping I hope you don't mind if I sleep closer...
