[Intro: Michele only, relaxed raspy vocal, acoustic guitar and light percussion] Morning coming off the water Bare feet already in the sand No clock, no plans, no reason To be anywhere but where I am [Verse 1: Michele only, playful conversational delivery] Sun's been up for maybe an hour I haven't checked and I don't care Coffee gave way to something colder Salt already tangled in my hair You dragged those chairs down by the water I said, "Right there's good enough" Now you're leaned back doing nothing Turns out you're pretty good at that stuff [Pre-Chorus: Michele only, groove relaxes slightly] We spend enough time chasing days Today can come to us Leave the phones back in the room We've got everything we want [Chorus: Michele leads, Jack joins in low harmony, both sing same words] We got nowhere we gotta be Nothing waiting on you and me Cold drink sweating in my hand Your feet buried in the sand Let the whole damn world run wild We'll be right here for a while Yeah, we're alright letting life be And that's enough for me [Verse 2: Michele only, Jack completely absent] Somebody's laughing down the shoreline Some kid's losing a fight with a wave You swear that bird just stole your breakfast I nearly spit out my drink when you gave chase Now you're walking back here empty-handed Cussing while I'm laughing at you Ain't much of anything happening That's exactly what I wanna do [Pre-Chorus: Michele only] We spend enough time chasing days Today can come to us Leave the phones back in the room We've got everything we want [Chorus: Michele leads, Jack joins in low harmony, both sing same words] We got nowhere we gotta be Nothing waiting on you and me Cold drink sweating in my hand Your feet buried in the sand Let the whole damn world run wild We'll be right here for a while Yeah, we're alright letting life be And that's enough for me [Bridge: Michele only, instruments pull back to acoustic guitar, bass and soft percussion] Maybe that's the thing I miss When everything gets moving fast You don't need some grand escape Just one day you don't rush past A little sun, a little water You beside me talking trash Funny how a day of nothing Can give you everything right back [Final Chorus: Michele leads strongly, Jack joins for full chorus, warm male harmony beneath her] We got nowhere we gotta be Nothing waiting on you and me Cold drink sweating in my hand Your feet buried in the sand Let the whole damn world run wild We'll be right here for a while Yeah, we're alright letting life be And that's enough for me [Final Chorus Repeat: Michele remains lead, Jack harmony grows slightly, loose joyful ad-libs] We got nowhere we gotta be Nothing waiting on you and me Cold drink sweating in my hand Your feet buried in the sand Let the whole damn world run wild We'll be right here for a while Yeah, we're alright letting life be And that's enough for me [Outro: Michele only, Jack drops out, acoustic guitar carries ending] No clock No plans No place we gotta be Yeah... That's enough for me
