[Intro]
This is that once in a lifetime...

[Verse]
Yeah, oh, once in a lifetime, a golden opportunity
Golden like the sand that you finally took me through to see
Was holding tight my hand, while I dipped a toe into the sea
I smiled like an idiot, but you still saw the sleuth in me
Hair up beautifully, considering the future
We were hitting up the candy shop and I felt truly super
It never seemed a place or time that I would stay in place to see
That question resting on our minds, like "Would you run away with me?"
Yeah, okay, how about it? We could start a new life
Living beach house days and garden view nights
And maybe think back to high school, starting food fights
Across from all my best friends, like "Y'all are too nice"
But now the heart of moonlight hits, and we'll just watch the stars dance
Attempt to mimic them until our little hearts can't
Take anymore of that vacant ancient decor
When it breaks and we can make for the door
And depart fast, and honestly, you look like Mozart sounds
You're a warm embrace compared to the cold, hard ground
The chicken noodle soup when I've been fretting sick in bed
It's like expecting death and restlessness and then catching a kiss instead
You're a myth that's said to hide via love
An angel that was once thought to reside in skies above
You're the sand between my toes when the high tide comes
Matter of fact, you're the air that's inside my lungs
You had sand in your hair and your fingernails
Trying to find a good spot in the shade
I suggested that we put up all our things for sale
You suggested we just up and run away
I had sweat on my palms and across my face
Thinking "If we did it would it go well?"
I suggested we don't wait even one more day
You suggested that I bring my favorite shells, well
