I hope the day soon comes
When all of this burns away
And I can escape from
The stupid shit that makes up my days
When I can pack a case
And fly out from the city at night
Touch down in a new hometown
And spend my time on the beach tonight
I’m counting every day
I’m counting every hour
Every second a lifetime longer
Taking away a story that’s ours
Because in my dreams
The sky’s so blue and the sea’s so green
The sand’s so hot and the air’s so clean
And nightmares become sweet dreams
I can hear a melody and suddenly see me
Playing guitar on the streets of gold
With those heavenly folks and friendly girls
And I pass my time in paradise til I grow old
I’m counting every day
I’m counting every hour
Every second a lifetime longer
Taking away a story that’s ours
