Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Something people all about the dollar bill
It's quite a shame, that ain't really how you oughta feel
It's all the same, every day, yeah, you gotta deal
With all the pain but in time, it is gonna heal
We never change for anybody, that would just be insane
Light a flame, rock it back and forth
Let me take you away with my words
I heard someone kicked you the curb
Keep your head held high, like you're chiefing on the herb
It's absurd the way the dollar bill rules lives
Two types of people on this Earth, who is right?
One side's controlled by material things
Others live for experience and everything it brings
I'm the king of the latter, sing about what matters
At the ball park with my friend, swing batter, batter
It's another summer's day, watch the sun fade away
All I gotta say is, we'll never change
[Verse 2]
Get away from it all, not a care in the world
Watch the sun hit the water as the waves curl
No plans, but a drink in my hand
No shoes, no shirt, swimsuit, Ray-Bans
Get away from it all, no one knows where we're hiding
Come on, baby girl, water's fine, just dive in
Ain't a dream so open your eyes
We're just living in paradise
Oh, ooh oh whoa
Oh, ooh oh whoa
Oh, ooh oh whoa
Swear, we'll never change
[Verse 3]
So come with me, come with me
Beachside's where we're gonna be
Smile and enjoying the world that we're living in
Party on an island somewhere in the Caribbean
Somewhere tropical, underneath the hot sun
Not a worry in the world, we ain't got one
Shotgun another brew by the deep blue
Never going home 'cause we really don't need to
I'm feeling ivory, got my liar right behind me
We're getting lively, chilling in Hawaii
Yeah, taking shots like Irene
Take a couple more, now you're in my league
Come vibe with me, get high with me
I know we don't know each other's names
Where we wanna be, blue skies and seas
Yeah, we'll never change
[Verse 4]
Get away from it all, not a care in the world
Watch the sun hit the water as the waves curl
No plans, but a drink in my hand
No shoes, no shirt, swimsuit, Ray-Bans
Get away from it all, no one knows where we're hiding
Come on, baby girl, water's fine, just dive in
Ain't a dream so open your eyes
We're just living in paradise
[Verse 5]
We're never changing
We'll stay the same and
We'll never change at all
We're never changing
We'll stay the same and
We'll never change at all
[Verse 6]
Get away from it all, not a care in the world
Watch the sun hit the water as the waves curl
No plans, but a drink in my hand
No shoes, no shirt, swimsuit, Ray-Bans
Get away from it all, no one knows where we're hiding
Come on, baby girl, water's fine, just dive in
Ain't a dream so open your eyes
We're just living in paradise
Oh, ooh oh whoa
Oh, ooh oh whoa
Oh, ooh oh whoa
Swear, we'll never change
Just me and you
We're just living in paradise
