This desert floor becomes a canvas It whispers: Welcome home And for the week we are its artwork, created as we roam And every time I close my eyes, I hear a melody reprise One we created out of love and sang at the top of our lungs
Sometimes it's a surprise to me What simple things can bring such clarity Like a playa lit as endless as the sea
Come and leave the default world behind us And when the sun goes down, the lights and love will blind us And we can drink those colors in and bathe in sin We've earned this time of release
Yeah, we'll fall out of typical Into where we all are just who we are And even though we'll soon be gone We'll look back on this place we fondly call home
I see myself in your reflection I feel your troubled pulse Looking around for the direction In which you feel the pull
But every time you close your eyes You feel the heaviness that lies Inside your chest and in your head No matter who is in your bed
Sometimes it's a surprise to me How miserable we make our lives to be Such a waste of time and all your energy
So, come and leave the default world behind us And we can lose ourselves till morning comes to find us And every single day we spend We learn again how good it feels to be free
Yeah, we'll fall out of typical Into where we all are who we'll become And we can drink those colors in and bathe in sin We've earned this time of release
Each day we spend we learn again How good it feels to be free And even though we'll soon be gone We'll look back on this place we fondly call home
