| So I took a journey, |
| threw my world into the sea. |
| With me went the teacher |
| who found fun instead of me. |
| Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said? |
| Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed. |
| I try to socialize but I can't seem to find |
| what I was looking for, got something on my mind. |

| Thanked me for his ticket |
| and all that I had done. |
| Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said? |
| Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed. |
| I try to socialize but I can't seem to find |
