Vacation

We'd sneak in, after hours, there was no doorknob on the door Walk the bedrooms, see the progress, brand new oven, brand new floors Just a cheap apartment, but it would be mine and yours Sweet escape from reality The night we moved in, we put the mattress down on the living room floor We felt like kids, up past bedtime, building a blanket fort And we watched trashy courtroom shows, they were hilarious when we were stoned Secret club house mentality Love to remember us that way Bolstered by some new inspiration (inspiration) But we couldn't make the magic stay It's easy to be in love on vacation (vacation) Walking with you, down 4th Avenue, one of our very first nights out You held my hand in that golden sweater I still think about And I romanticized you so much, and they couldn't keep their eyes off us At least that's the way it seemed We cancelled Hilton Head Island, when we broke up, but then took it back And the drive was a disaster, every hour, the tire went flat But when we finally made it there, and smelled the salty ocean air It felt like the slate was clean Love to remember us that way Bolstered by some new inspiration (inspiration) But we couldn't make the magic stay It's easy to be in love on vacation (vacation) It felt so romantic on the beach Swimsuits and fancy hotel suites And for a while it felt like we could actually make it But I cried on the way home (Vacation) (Vacation) Searching for another way to play pretend Maybe we could get away, for the weekend You'll see me differently, in Austin And maybe this time, baby, it won't end (Vacation) (Vacation)
