[Verse 1]
I thought some time in the sun
Would help me get over you
But I could tell from day one
This is a place meant for two
Now here I sit on the beach
Watching the tide ebb and flow
I booked my room for a week
But now I'm ready to go

[Chorus]
I'm in a tropical depression
I've got the blue water blues
Can't shake this loving you obsession
Can't stand this sand in my shoes
This forgetting you vacation
Is just a fool's holiday
If I can't get over you
This tropical depression is going to
Blow me away

[Verse 2]
This should be paradise
Heaven down by the sea
Without you here by my side
It feels like hell to me

[Chorus]

[Outro]
If I can't get over you
This tropical depression is going to
Blow me away
