Lyrics
This is almost like paradise to me
The edge of the sea
Time you're here with me stands still
The world rotates while the moon reflects the waves
From the sandy dunes I'm lying on my back
We get pulled by the weight of the sun
Let me cherish this each moment is not forever
Still the world rotates while the moon reflects the waves
They say time won't wait
Hope that I'm not late
Oh the tides they make you slow down
Leave it all for fate
There are no mistakes
There are only choices I've found now
Well we started off talking relationships
And the next thing we had one ourselves
From across the table laboring to sit
You're a beautiful thing I wish I could stay for days
But the world rotates while the moon reflects the waves
