I'm not sure how these lyrics could be this off base...the words as they're set down here give the song the opposite of its intended meaning. Corrections:
"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."
