Sitting in the basket of the waves
Feels like I’ve been treading now for days
Peace upon my mind is all I ever care to find
Resting eyes and soaking up the rays
I can see the forest for the trees
Goosebumps form amidst the summer breeze
Far out from the land and the silky orange sand
As relaxation crashes over me
The hours all but fade in my one man parade
I think I’ve got it made, this aqua life
Clouds are giving way to all the birds
As I fumble searching out my words
Open up my mouth but I can’t produce a sound
The rushing tide is all I ever heard
I’m clinging to the coast and feeling like a ghost
In this world that I love most, this aqua life
This aqua life, I can’t survive but it’s all right
One finger up, two fingers up
Three fingers up, I’m going down
Soon they’ll send the men out from the shore
Swirling out across the ocean floor
Trying to change my fate but it’s already too late
I’ll never be stressed out anymore
I’m sinking down alone, in my forever home
And I just can’t condone this aqua life
Oh no
