I need a house on a beach
Facing out to the deep blue sea
I need to put up my feet
One day to do nothing else but sleep
And it all starts with a house on a beach
I can see it in my mind
Name is painted on an old driftwood sign
Hanging above the screen door in the back
That opens up to the porch and the best view I've ever had
I need a house on a beach
And a beautiful woman next to me
A couple of kids in the sand
We'll make some castles then make ‘em again
Feel the tide cover up our feet
And it all starts with a house on a beach
I can see it in my mind
Name is painted on an old driftwood sign
Hanging above the screen door in the back
That opens up to the porch and the best view you’ve ever had
And it feels just like my dream
That always starts with a house on a beach
I need a house on a beach
Somewhere the arms of this city are never gonna reach
Out past the concrete and the street lights
Me and the salt on the breeze under the night skies
Where I can slow down and listen to my dreams
It’s the same one I've had every night for weeks
It ends with a fever and slips back out of reach
But always starts with a house on a beach
I need a house on a beach
Facing out to the deep blue sea
