We've been far across the ocean Went by car and boat and bus But so far I'm feelin' closer than we've ever been before Traveled all along the coastline to our little island cove All along this world keeps pushing on but we've been moving slow Settled in beside a beach fire, dug our feet deep in the sand Settlin' for city livin' is something I can't understand We've been up and down this coastline, we've seen all the big time lights Until now I never noticed how many stars are in the sky Someday we'll think about these days And if home is just a place then why are we only visiting The sun and the waves, the melodies we've made All the memories we maybe need to make again Yesterday the next cove over, swimmin' naked in the sea With a smile as bright as our tan lines, just my girl and me Through the wind and rain and thunder our little tent still stood As the morning broke and we awoke the storm had left for good We've been meeting all the locals, all the lobsters and the fish So we swam right up and puckered up to greet them with a kiss Someday we'll think about these days And if home is just a place then why are we only visiting The sun and the waves, the melodies we've made All the memories we maybe need to make them Oo maybe we could make them again We've been far across the ocean Went by car and boat and bus But so far I'm feelin' closer than we've ever been before
