Gonna put the world away for a minute  

Pretend I don't live in it  

Sunshine gonna wash my blues away  

Had sweet love but I lost it  

Got too close so I fought it  

Now I'm lost in the world tryin to find me a better way  

 

Wishin' I was  

Knee Deep in the water somewhere  

got the blue sky, breeze and it don't seem fair  

the 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 have found me my own kind of paradise  

 

Wrote a note, said "Be back in a minute"  

Bought a boat and I sailed off in it  

Don't think anybodies gonna miss me anyway  

Mind on a permanent vacation  

The ocean is my only medication  

Wishin' my condition aint ever gonna go away  

 

Now I'm knee deep in the water somewhere  

Got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind [bad word] 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 have found me my own kind of paradise  

 

This champagne shore watchin' over me  

It's a sweet sweet life livin' by the salty sea  

One day you can be as lost as me  

Change your geography and maybe you might be  

 

Knee deep in the water somewhere  

got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind [bad word] 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 have found me my own kind of paradise  

  [bad word] on in  

the waters nice  

find yourself a little slice  

grab a backpack  

otherwise you'll never know until you try  

when you lose yourself  

you find a key to paradise
