Along The Beach
I could stay here all night
Listening to the foamy waves
Crash against the soft creamy sea.
I sink my toes in, loving the feeling
That flows up my spine and makes me smile
All I want to do is take in the sensation
That is now overwhelming me
I want more, as I breath in the air
As if it were a drug I can never get enough of
I could take it in forever
As I glance up at the night sky
I feel myself get lost in the deep dream like blue
I stair mesmerized, so hard to look away
The wind blows and tickles my face
It's the only thing that brings me back
To the people who laugh, and walk along with me
I feel slightly guilty for a moment
Because I haven't said a word.
Letting the feeling slip away quickly with my mind
I stop to think about how great it would be
To have you beside me right now
Running your toes through the creamy sand
Breathing in the air you can never get enough of
Looking up at the starry blue sky
Feeling the wind sweeping through your hair
And kiss me as we walk along together
However, all I can do is laugh
Because you're all that's on my mind
And I just can't get enough.
