Vacation in My Mind

[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] 7 a.m. — alarm again, I sigh, Coffee in hand, chasing deadlines flying by. Spreadsheets, emails, calls non-stop, I’m buried deep, no way to swap. Outside it’s summer, sun is high, While I’m stuck here watching time fly by. Boss says, “No vacation just yet.” I nod, but dream of waves I haven’t met. **\[Chorus]** I wanna be by the ocean, In a chair, in slow motion. Salty breeze, cocktail in my hand, Toes dancing in the sand. Laughing winds and sunshine glow, No more deadlines, no more “go!” Vacation’s only in my head, But it’s where my soul is led. **\[Verse 2]** My coworker’s whispering, “This can’t wait.” But I see palm trees at the golden gate. I should be fixing charts ‘til five, But I’m on a yacht — at least, in my mind. No phones, no tasks, no fuss, Just waves that gently carry us. Yes, I’m still here with silent screens, But my heart is chasing seaside dreams. **\[Chorus]** I wanna be by the ocean, In a chair, in slow motion. Salty breeze, cocktail in my hand, Toes dancing in the sand. Laughing winds and sunshine glow, No more deadlines, no more “go!” Vacation’s only in my head, But it’s where my soul is led. **\[Bridge]** Maybe I’ll just book a flight, And leave this desk behind tonight. Goodbye emails, wires, and chairs — Hello sun and sea-salt air. **\[Final Chorus / Outro]** Now I’m finally by the ocean, In a chair, sweet emotion. Salty breeze, cocktail in my hand, Reality is just as planned. Laughing winds and sunshine glow, And no more “urgent” in my inbox row. Vacation’s not just in my head — It’s my real life now instead. [Instrumental break] **\[Final Chorus / Outro]** Now I’m finally by the ocean, In a chair, sweet emotion. Salty breeze, cocktail in my hand, Reality is just as planned. Laughing winds and sunshine glow, And no more “urgent” in my inbox row. Vacation’s not just in my head — It’s my real life now instead.
