[Intro] [Bright synth fanfare] [Fast electronic drums] [Driving bass] [Clean rhythm guitar] [Verse 1] We left the harbour on a Saturday morning No one knew where we'd be by Monday night We threw our bags into a little cabin And ran upstairs to watch the shoreline slide No alarm clocks, no meetings, no excuses No one asking where we had to be The sun was high, the water kept on shining And for the first time in a long time, we were free [Pre-Chorus] We could dance until the morning We could sleep until the noon We could chase another island Every day a different view [Chorus] Summer on the ocean, nothing holding us down Summer on the ocean, we're leaving the world behind No plans for tomorrow, no reason to know Where the wind will take us, we're ready to go Summer on the ocean, with the sun above our heads Summer on the ocean, forgetting what we said We'll come back someday, but not tonight We're living like the whole world is ours tonight [Verse 2] We met some people from a town in Spain They taught us words we couldn't pronounce We danced with strangers underneath the stars And laughed until the captain told us to calm down Someone jumped into the midnight water Someone started singing far too loud We didn't care if anybody heard us We were just another happy crowd [Pre-Chorus] Every morning brought a new horizon Every evening brought a different song Nobody was asking where we came from Nobody cared where we belonged [Chorus] Summer on the ocean, nothing holding us down Summer on the ocean, we're leaving the world behind No plans for tomorrow, no reason to know Where the wind will take us, we're ready to go Summer on the ocean, with the sun above our heads Summer on the ocean, forgetting what we said We'll come back someday, but not tonight We're living like the whole world is ours tonight [Instrumental Break] [Extended synthesizer hook] [Driving bass] [Bright guitar rhythm] [Handclap-style percussion] [Female vocal ad-libs] [Bridge] Maybe Monday brings the bills again Maybe Tuesday brings the same old town Maybe we'll complain about the weather Maybe we'll wish that we could turn around But right now there is nothing to remember Nothing we have to understand Just the water moving underneath us And the whole horizon in our hands [Breakdown] [Drums briefly reduced] [Bright synth chords] No clock... No plans... No one telling us where we should stand... [Build] [Drums and bass gradually return] We can go... We can stay... We can sail another day... [Final Chorus] [Full energetic arrangement] [Strong doubled lead vocal] Summer on the ocean, nothing holding us down Summer on the ocean, we're leaving the world behind No plans for tomorrow, no reason to know Where the wind will take us, we're ready to go Summer on the ocean, with the sun above our heads Summer on the ocean, forgetting what we said We'll come back someday, but not tonight We're living like the whole world is ours tonight [Final Chorus] [Higher harmony] Summer on the ocean... Running wild and free Summer on the ocean... That's where I want to be [Outro] [Bright synth hook] [Female vocal] No plans tomorrow... Just the summer... Just the ocean... [Instrumental Outro] [Extended bass and synthesizer fade]
