What you want is just outside your reach
You keep on searchin'
You're walking down that Pensacola beach
You keep repeatin'
While you're waiting for that sound
Apparatus to the ground
You're stealing from the lost and found
But what you find
ain't what you had in mind
Until you find your Rolex in the sand
You won't be stopping
Until that solid gold is in your hand
You won't be happy
Nah, call your office on the phone
You can't say you won't be coming home
You fell into vacations on a-oh-oh-oh (??)
You keep on searchin'
You're walking down that Pensacola beach
You keep repeatin'
While you're waiting for that sound
Apparatus to the ground
You're stealing from the lost and found
But what you find
ain't what you had in mind
Until you find your Rolex in the sand
You won't be stopping
Until that solid gold is in your hand
You won't be happy
Nah, call your office on the phone
You can't say you won't be coming home
You fell into vacations on a-oh-oh-oh (??)

"YOU'LL be happy" not "you won't be happy"
"Say you won't be coming home" not "you can't say you won't be coming home"
"You fell into vacation zone" not "you're balancing vacations on a rope"
The guy (a beachcomber) is looking for something valuable on the beach (like a Rolex watch) with his metal detector ("apparatus to the ground"). Instead what he "finds" is that he's happier just walking down the beach, freed from everyday cares like work ("call your office on the phone / say you won't be coming home"). Being freed from thus cares, he enters a sort of blissful state at this realization, and thus falls into a "vacation zone."
"Call your office on the phone.
Say you won't be coming home.
We fell into vacations on our own."
You keep on searchin'
You're walking down that Pensacola beach
You keep repeatin'
While you're waiting for that sound
Apparatus to the ground
You're stealing from the lost and found
But what you find
ain't what you had in mind
Until you find your Rolex in the sand
You won't be stopping
Until that solid gold is in your hand
You won't be happy
Nah, call your office on the phone
You can't say you won't be coming home
You're balancing vacations on a rope
You fell into vacation zone
You're balancing vacations on a rope
