Sunday On the Sand

Feet in the water, fire in our hands, nowhere to be.

Verse 1

Rolled in late, sun already high
Cooler in the back and smoke in the sky
Somebody beat us, grill's goin' strong
Speakers by the water, singin' along
Barefoot circles in the shoreline heat
Kids chasin' waves, dogs in the deep
Same old faces, same easy grin
Like the week just washed off in the wind

Pre-Chorus

Six long days just to get right here
And it all disappears

Chorus

Sunday on the sand
Feet in the water, fire in our hands
Good friends, sunburn, nowhere to be
Just the tide rollin' in and out like me
Ain't nowhere else I'd rather land
Than right here, Sunday on the sand

Verse 2

Somebody's tellin' that same old joke
Somebody's turnin' burgers in the smoke
Girls in the chairs, shades pushed down
Laughin' at the boys actin' like clowns
Boat pulls up and the crowd gets bigger
One more song and the sun drops quicker
Nobody's checkin' what time it is
That's the way a day like this should live

Pre-Chorus

Whole world waits till Monday comes
But not for us

Chorus

Sunday on the sand
Feet in the water, fire in our hands
Good friends, sunburn, nowhere to be
Just the tide rollin' in and out like me
Ain't nowhere else I'd rather land
Than right here, Sunday on the sand

Bridge

By sunset, the sky burns gold
And nobody wants to pack it up and go
Funny how the simple things
Turn into everything

Final Chorus

Sunday on the sand
Feet in the water, fire in our hands
Good friends, sunburn, nowhere to be
Just holdin' on to what we need
Ain't nowhere else I'd rather land
Than right here, Sunday on the sand
Sunday on the sand
Yeah, Sunday on the sand

Raw note map (experimental)

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
