Think about a new destination

Just lace up your shoes while I’m fetching a sleeping bag, a tent...

Made my plans to conquer the country
I’m waiting for you to get out of your situation
With your job and with your life

All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet

A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands

My joy will be complete
