The roller coaster only seemed to go straight up
And we rode again and again
The lines weren't long and the waiting was nice
more than lovers, just less than friends

[chorus]
Looking back
We saw the whole park in one day
in just a short time we always had fun
and I was grinning every step of the way

You knew I was fresh when got in the flume
I knew you would have places to be
Like a quick dose of life in a sugary spoon
I found my legs could stand on the sea

There were places we went and ones we walked past
There were limits on the things we could do
No dive Ten thousand leauges under the sea
Just moments between me and you

[chorus]
Looking back
We saw the whole park in one day
in just a short time we always had fun
and I was grinning every step of the way

And as the park closed, it was time to go home
Cuz vacations only last for a day
we walked through the gate, kissing sweetly goodbye
I wouldn't have it another way

So I walked to my car, with my keys in my hand
looked behind me to catch a last view
A small pit in my gut, but I smiled and laughed
I am grateful just to have known you

[chorus]
Looking back
We saw the whole park in one day
in just a short time we always had fun
and I was grinning every step of the way
