Pandemic escapism at its best. A fresh, catchy track for the summer.
lyrics
It’s been quite a year, and it’s not over yet
A cold and lonely kind of hell
I’ve been weak and weepy, desperate for a change
I know my limits well
I wanna kiss the breeze, I wanna swim back to shore,
Let the deep blue swallow my body
I wanna feel in love … again
I’m heading over the ocean, do you want to meet me there
For an Italian summer, escape this northern air
And soak in some of that sweet sun-kissed beauty
That makes me feel alive
I wanna feel alive again
I’ve still got my memories, and I keep them close to me
Remember dancing in the square?
All the lovers walking by, young and old they made you cry
I think I left my heart over there.
I wanna catch a wave, I want to feel young again
Seize the sunlight on my shoulders
I want to slow it down, dance until morning, until morning
I’m heading over the ocean, do you want to meet me there
For an Italian summer, escape this northern air
And soak in some of that sweet sun-kissed beauty
That makes me feel alive
And the days go by daydreaming into the night
Somehow wishing that I could fly away…
I’m heading over the ocean, do you want to meet me there
For an Italian summer, escape this northern air
And soak in some of that sweet sun-kissed beauty
That makes me feel alive
I wanna feel alive again.
