Lots of space in this final version. I was thinking of The Beatles "Because" off Abbey Rd. The "Love" album has a version with just the vocals and I was inspired by that and Geoff Emerick's description of the recording session in his book.

Lyrics

Let’s run away
Find a cold clear lake
And dive right in
Shock this day

Close
My eyes
And follow
The desire line

The coast is clear
Path worn and easy
Convenience
Strangles sweetly

Are we
Condemned
To follow
The Desire line
