Lyrics

I been thinkin' about a change
Been living this life so long
It's time to rearrange
The faces, the places,
Sail somewhere out of my range.
It's time to get, back on the road
Back on the planes.

Touch down in Kona town
Just me and my friend Dave
After her shift she sat down
You never know when you'll be saved.

Beauty launched 1000 ships
And in Alexis' wake
I see the next step
I gotta take.

To her and I on the lanai
I'll sing her songs she sparked in me
Now I know my next step's toward
Alexis & the Sea.
To her and I on the lanai
I'll sing her songs she sparked in me
Now I know my next step's toward
Alexis & the Sea.

I been thinkin' about a change.
Alexis says at first
Island time is strange
No racin', no chasin'
See sunset every day
And it lights up her eyes
And the mountains by the bay.

Beauty launched 1000 ships
And in Alexis' wake
I see the next step
I gotta take.

To her and I on the lanai
I'll sing her songs she sparked in me
Now I know my next step's toward
Alexis & the Sea.
To her and I on the lanai
I'll sing her songs she sparked in me
Now I know my next step's toward
Alexis & the Sea.

I was restless, no direction
Kinda lost my way
Hide and seek's a game
Inspiration likes to play.
So I hit the road
Caught up to her one day
In Alexis' shining eyes
At the bar in Kona bay.

I been thinkin' about a change
And if you told Alexis
She'd surely find it strange
Playing the muse
Just going 'bout her day
How the sparkle in her eyes
Light up my way

Beauty launched 1000 ships
And in Alexis' wake
I see the next step
I gotta take.

To her and I on the lanai
I'll sing her songs she sparked in me
Now I know my next step's toward
Alexis & the Sea.
To her and I on the lanai
I'll sing her songs she sparked in me
Now I know my next step's toward
Alexis & the Sea.
Shining eyes to light my way
Alexis & the Sea
Now I know my next step's toward
Alexis & the Sea

I been thinkin' about a change
