Analysis of Take me to the beach



Take me to the beach and let me be
I just want to lay on a lounge chair and think about absolutely nothing
I want to hear the quiet of my soul at peace
And feel the resting of my body at ease
I want to look at the waves and enjoy them staring back at me
I want to feel the comfort of the sun as I close my eyes but still I can see its brightest shining upon me
I want to hear the sound of the water splashing as it surrounds and overpowers then retreats and frees me.
Take me to the beach because happy I will be!
