Lyrics
[verse]
Packed my bag and left the worries on the shelf
Bought a ticket just to find a different self
Sun is calling, waves are rolling in my mind
Left the heavy stuff a hundred miles behind
[verse]
You said you'd meet me where the ocean meets the sky
Told me not to worry, told me not to ask why
But the postcard never came the way you said it would
I'm still standing here alone, just like I thought I could
[chorus]
Oh, it was supposed to be a getaway
Sunshine and a promise and a brand new day
Now it's just me and the empty shore
Wishing I could trade this vacation for something more
[verse]
Palm trees swaying, radio playing something sweet
Every couple passing looking so complete
I'm the only one still holding onto yesterday
Watching all my postcards blow away
[chorus]
Oh, it was supposed to be a getaway
Sunshine and a promise and a brand new day
Now it's just me and the empty shore
Wishing I could trade this vacation for something more
[bridge]
Maybe I don't need the reason why
Maybe I just watch the sun and let it dry
Every tear I brought here with the tide
I'll leave this heartbreak somewhere by the shoreline
[chorus]
Oh, it was supposed to be a getaway
Sunshine and a promise and a brand new day
Now it's just me and the empty shore
Wishing I could trade this vacation for something more
