[Verse 1]
Flip-flops by the blue tile
Cold drink sweating in my hand
I give the clock a holiday
And let the afternoon expand
The pool keeps talking softly
While the palm leaves take their time
I stretch out in the sunchair
With the sun across my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
No plans to chase, no calls to make
Just one more breath for goodness’ sake
[Chorus]
Take it easy, let the whole day roll
Feet in the water, peace in your soul
Poolside, sunchair, towel in the sand
Nothing but summer and a little bit of land
Take it easy, let your shoulders fall
You don’t have to hurry anywhere at all
[Verse 2]
Down by the beach the tide comes in
And smooths the footprints clean
I find a quiet patch of sand
Where the sky meets the sea
A paperback lies open
But I barely read a line
The breeze keeps turning pages
Like it knows I’m doing fine
[Pre-Chorus]
No need to prove, no race to win
The best kind of day is the one you’re in
[Chorus]
Take it easy, let the whole day roll
Feet in the water, peace in your soul
Poolside, sunchair, towel in the sand
Nothing but summer and a little bit of land
Take it easy, let your shoulders fall
You don’t have to hurry anywhere at all
[Bridge]
If the world comes knocking, let it wait outside
There’s a shell in my pocket and a wide blue sky
I’ll stay right here till the colors fade
With the sweetest choice I ever made
[Final Chorus]
Take it easy, let the whole day roll
Warm sun on your back, calm in your soul
Poolside, sunchair, towel in the sand
A little cool water and your toes on the land
Take it easy, let your shoulders fall
You don’t have to hurry anywhere at all
Take it easy, let the whole day roll
This is enough, and it feels like gold
[Outro]
Poolside, sunchair, towel in the sand
Take it easy, just as you planned
