Distraction

hey baby, let's go to the beach house
this week is weighing on me
I need to feel the distraction
from you and the deep blue sea

let's go to the place that I love best
feel the warm rays of the sun
we won't be able to go swimming
but we can still have some fun

let's light that outside fire
on the terrace under the moon
get a view of the southern exposure
and sleep until way past noon

let's walk the beach in the evening
leave our footprints in the sand
stars so close you can touch them
and hold them in your hand

let's snuggle under a blanket
and share a glass of wine
as moonlight floods the window
and our love intertwines
