about

That first line showed up uninvited in my mind. I grabbed a ukulele and wrote the rest right there...

lyrics

I don't wanna live my life in your no wake zone
I don't wanna live it tethered to a damn cell phone
And if I gotta go through Hell
I'll go ring the Devil's bell
And ask him to please leave me alone

I don't wanna live my life worried to the bone
I don't want the kind of life where all fun is postponed
I know you got somethin' to sell
Please be kind, bid me farewell
I ask you, please leave me alone

I want to sail away to parts unknown
I don't need riches, I don't need a throne
I need her by my side
As we look down at the tide
Come on baby let's go be alone

And I don't wanna live a life that is not my own
And I don't want a heart so hard it might turn to stone
I know you think the mall is swell
But I need less noise can't you tell
So please, leave me alone

Your hand in my hand
Our feet on the sand
Look in my heart
We'll draw our own chart

I want to sail away to parts unknown
I don't need riches, I don't need a throne
I need you by my side
As we look down at the tide
Come on baby let's go be alone
