Some beach, somewhere. There’s a big umbrella casting shade over an empty chair. Palm trees are growin’ and a warm breeze a blowing. I picture myself right there, on some beach, somewhere.
I’m not the kind of person who thrives in “the scene.” I know that when this is all over, and I’m no longer cool, I’m going to be just as happy because I’m going to be at home.
