Lyrics

Just Out of Reach

Take a walk, to the beach

Take a walk, back to the sea

Take a walk with me, back to the beach

I take a walk with you, just out of reach

Just out of reach

Just out of reach

Just out of reach

Just out of reach

I see the sun here

I see the sand

I see the sun here

You take my hand

You take my hand

You take my hand

You take my hand

[?] sand

Just out of reach

Just out of reach

Just out of reach

Just out of reach

You take a walk with me, back to the sea

You take a walk with me, back to the beach

Just out of reach

Just out of reach

Just out of reach

Just out of reach

I see the sun on you

I see the sand

I see the sun on you

You take my hand

You take my hand

You take my hand

Back to the sand
