Surprising Love Escapade: A Journey to Rediscover Romance
Lyrics
I'd like to take you by surprise at the grocery store
I want to surprise you unexpectedly while we're at the grocery store.
Grab you by the hand and step on the electric door
I intend to hold your hand and enter through the automatic door.
Leave the shopping cart right where it is
I won't bother with the shopping cart; someone probably has the same list.
I betcha somebody's got the same list
Expressing the routine and similarity of daily life.
I want to take us away from all this to a distant shore.
I desire to take us to a distant shore, escaping from the ordinary.
I'd leave the car by the curb with the motor on
Leaving the car running, music playing, creating a spontaneous atmosphere.
The tape deck playin' our favorite love song
Our favorite love song playing on the tape deck.
And you'd say "What in the world?"
Your surprised reaction, questioning the unexpected situation.
And smile just like a little girl
Your smile, reminiscent of innocence.
And I'd say "I can't tell you now but it won't be long."
I hint at a surprise, promising it won't take too long to reveal.
I know it sounds funny, but it's true
Admitting to getting so busy that the love connection is momentarily forgotten.
I get so busy I forget I'm in love with you
Recognizing the need for occasional breaks to rekindle love.
And every now and then we need to get away to get close again.
Stressing the importance of getting away to strengthen the relationship.
Up in the air in a window seat
Imagining a getaway, perhaps on a plane, enjoying each other's company.
Your head on my shoulder and a blanket around our feet
Describing a cozy scene with heads close and covered with a blanket.
We could leave the kids at home
Suggesting leaving responsibilities behind, focusing on each other.
And if you get worried we could telephone
Assuring communication, even if worries arise during the escape.
We need a weekend of fun for under two hundred dollars complete.
Advocating for a budget-friendly weekend, emphasizing simplicity.
I know it sounds funny, but it's true
Reiterating the tendency to forget love amidst daily busyness.
I get so busy I forget I'm in love with you
Highlighting the periodic need for breaks to reawaken romantic feelings.
And every now and then we need to get away to get close again.
Reemphasizing the importance of getting away to reconnect.
There we would be in a sunny land
Envisioning a sunny vacation with relaxation on the beach.
We'd lie on the beach and you could wiggle your toes in the sand
Adding a playful image of wiggling toes in the sand.
A tropical drink late at night
Mentioning enjoying tropical drinks and a potential midnight swim.
And a midnight dip if the temperature's right
Suggesting spontaneity and enjoying the unplanned moments.
The best things turn out better if they never were planned.
Stating that some of the best things happen when not meticulously planned.
I know it sounds funny, but it's true
Reaffirming the tendency to forget love amid life's demands.
I get so busy I forget I'm in love with you
Expressing the periodic need to break away to rekindle love.
And every now and then we need to get away to get close again.
Stressing the recurring importance of taking breaks to get close again.
