Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gonna put the world away for a minute
Pretend I don't live in it
Sunshine gonna wash my blues away
[Verse 2]
Had sweet love, but I lost it
She got too close, so I fought it
Now I'm lost in the world tryna find me a better way
[Chorus]
Wishing I was knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze and it don't seem fair
Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy, never felt so high
And I think I might've found me my own kind of paradise
[Verse 3]
Wrote a note said, "Be back in a minute"
Bought a boat and I sailed off in it
Don't think anybody's gonna miss me anyway
[Verse 4]
Mind on permanent vacation
The ocean is my only medication
Wishing my condition ain't ever gonna go away
[Chorus]
'Cause now I'm knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair
Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy, never felt so high
And I think I might've found me my own kind of paradise
[Bridge]
This champagne shore washing over me
It's a sweet, sweet life
Living by the salty sea
One day you could be as lost as me
Change your geography
Maybe you might be
[Chorus]
Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair
Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy, never felt so high
And I think I might've found me my own kind of paradise
[Outro]
Come on in the water's nice, find yourself a little slice
Grab a backpack and lunch, you never know until you try
When you lose yourself
You find the key to paradise
