So you quit your job and you cut your sleeves
Springtime makes you wanna leave
When that feeling's made its home deep in your bones

Trying to find Australia
Looking for the sun
Looking for the heart to run
With gold in her pockets
And a green thumb

If I make it to the surface where it’s calm
Where the nighttime air awakes me
And fills my lungs

On the distant shore the lights just look like stars
But the moonlight won't forsake me
It fills my lungs

I'll be the king of my days
Your wooden chair as my throne
Eyes of white Queen Anne’s Lace
And your little heart overgrown
Again

Suddenly I looked and looked away
I never was one to be brave
But as always I missed my chance to know

So we meet halfway in Hawaii
Disappear into the sea
Upon the melting hows and whys
The salty windswept yellow lies
Just play dumb

If I make it to the surface where it's calm
Where the nighttime air awakes me
And fills my lungs

On the distant shore the lights just look like stars
But the moonlight won't forsake me
It fills my lungs

I'll be the king of my days
Your wooden chair as my throne
Eyes of white Queen Anne's Lace
And your little heart overgrown
Again

I'll be the king of my days

Trying to find Australia
Looking for the sun
Looking for the heart to run
With gold in her pockets
And a green thumb
