closest sea is a thousand miles south you can skip the drive and just walk to my house on the south side fill it full of sand and of sun turn on the faucets till we start having fun my life's a beach even in my dreams my life's a beach even when it's only me sure the water is fucking up the carpet but whats the beach for if it ain't for getting wet don't tell my landlord I'm sure I've broken lease but goddamn it my beadrooms my own fucking beach my life's a goddamn beach

I like your face only when there's one I like the days when I don't feel so dumb I'm so proud of you I'm so proud you're so happy so happy now you like my feelings only when they're for you you like me stealing only when it's for you I'm so proud of you I'm so proud you're so happy so happy now we like our sheets we love our skin we only sleep when we're downing I'm so proud of you I'm so proud you're so happy so happy now

I will never die I will never be good I will never live quite like I should there ain't no deep down for me or you only the shitty things that we do I hope that you ain't trying too hard I think this is just who you are I will always laugh I will always complain I will always want what isn't the same
