The one that you needed, the one that you love
And all we need are days that'll last forever
And all I need is you and the rising sun
I don't care what you say in the heat of it all
I don't care what you say 'cause I need you to know
That your love is what's worth fighting for
You got me on the run, I don't know what to do
Each day I'm falling, falling hard for you
I know it must be right, no way it could be wrong
No need for searching for what's waiting right at home
And all we had to do is say, we won't ever walk away from our love
From our love
I'm going to my paradise
A place where the weather's nice
It's always fun to come back home
It's fun to get a little stoned
And slow down, just my girl and me
No plans no company
I got all this love for you
And if you forget, I'll remind you
I don't care what you say in the heat of it all
I don't care what you say 'cause I need you to know
That your love is what's worth fighting for
You got me on the run, I don't know what to do
Each day I'm falling, falling hard for you
I know it must be right, no way it could be wrong
No need for searching for what's waiting right at home
And all we had to do is say, we won't ever walk away from our love
From our love
You don't know what you're missing
Won't you listen to your heart? Trust me, yeah
I will never leave you, I'll be there to please you always, yeah
So give me that good feeling, it's early in the evening, why wait?
There ain't no better time, yeah we got to realize
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
We can run away to a better place
It's a getaway, it's a getaway
We can run away to another place
It's a getaway, we can run away
We can run away to a better place
So far away
There ain't no better time, yeah, we got to realize
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
You got me on the run, I don't know what to do
Each day I'm falling, falling hard for you
I know it must be right, no way it could be wrong
No need for searching for what's waiting right at home
And all we had to do is say, we won't ever walk away from our love
From our love
Slow down, just my girl and me
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
Slow down, just my girl and me
Exactly where we're supposed to be
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
