you don’t know me
i am just a stranger to you now
come and hold me
i used to be the sailor you’ve been dreaming about

i got my toes in the sand
time on my hands
thought that I’d be happier here
and with the wind in my hair
hands in the air
doesn’t feel the same as last year

‘cause I miss you, miss you, miss you
yeah I miss you, miss you, miss you
yeah I miss you, miss you, miss you
yeah I miss you, miss you, miss you

the sunset looks paler now
the sky not as blue
and when I look out at the ocean, all I see is you
i wanted to send you a postcard,
or get you a gift,
but then I realise I don’t know where you live

toes in the sand
time on my hands
thought that I’d be
happier here
wind in my hair
hands in the air
why won’t it feel
just like last year

‘cause I miss you, miss you, miss you
yeah I miss you, miss you, miss you
yeah I miss you, miss you, miss you
yeah I miss you, miss you, miss you

going on a trip for a change of scene
i just want the waves to wash me clean
looking back i know this ship has sailed
standing by the docks and watch it fade

i don’t wanna be your lover out of sight
i just wanna be your lighthouse in the night
i don’t wanna be your lover out of sight
i just wanna be yours

cover me in shells and let me heal
somewhere by the beachside
i let the ocean come upon me
to wash me clean

going on a trip for a change of scene
i just want the waves to wash me clean
looking back I know this ship has sailed
standing by the docks and watch it fade
‘cause I miss you
