Perhaps I've never tried that hard to see A palm tree swinging lazy in the breeze Perhaps I looked away too many times Just ignoring all the signs Riding high on a temporary vibe Life and love are messy most of the time Practical minds breeding practical lives Leave it all behind The ocean breeze, the palm trees, and the sunshine Excuses that a pair of eyes can't hide Perhaps this paradise is my decline Riding high on a temporary vibe Life and love are messy most of the time If we were sober, we would know that this is real Beyond a feeling, and I'd never let you go If we were sober, we would know that this is real Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go Down in Mexico We could be drinkin cheap tequila en the playa esquinita And it sure is good to see the sea again We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita And it sure is good to see the sea again We both know what this could be or pretend that it's not happening Float forever, take a trip with me Live forever in a postcard where it lives and breathes in blue and green And roaring up a gentle breeze, We're riding high on a temporary vibe, Life and love are messy most of the time If we were sober, we would know that this is real Beyond a feeling, and I'd never let you go If we were sober, we would know that this is real Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go Down in mexico We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita And it sure is good to see the sea again We should be drinking margaritas in a foreign buena vista And it sure is good to see you once again
