[Verse 1]
She wakes up
She hears her parents fighting
It's four in the morning
And she feels like she's hiding in her own home
It's simply uninviting
Soon her dad leaves and her mother's left crying
She shuts her eyes again
But time is cruel
'Cause a couple hours later
She gets up for school
Then it's unhappy teachers and boring classes
Getting made fun of for her big dumb glasses
Caring too much about a social status
Sitting around as time slowly passes
Then the fat lady sings
And the final bells rings
And the kids all scatter like a loved one's ashes
[Chorus]
But now where does she go?
She really doesn't know
Home don't feel like home
So she roams the beach alone
Home is where the heart is
But her heart's seen better days
So she takes it to the sand
And she gives it to the waves
[Verse 2]
She just graduated college
Majored in some bullshit
Her pairs of parents watch
In expensive outfits
She doesn't see the need
For the ceremony
Or the ooh lookie me
And my passionless degree
She's feeling underwhelmed
This is supposed to be the climax
She can't see a future
She might need new contacts
Now all of her peers
Are out drinking beers
And they're all shouting cheers!
Excited for the years to come
With careers they love
Or can tolerate
But she's not so quick to celebrate
She feels like she's going through the motions
She doesn't know where she's going
Except to the ocean
[Chorus]
Now where does she go?
She really doesn't know
She now has a degree
Not as lovely as the sea
Home is where the heart is
But her heart's seen better days
So she takes it to the sand
And she gives it to the waves
[Bridge]
Time seems to crawl
Until it starts to fly
Then it slips through your fingers
In the blink of an eye
[Verse 3]
Now she gets a senior discount
At the local thrift store
But she still grows older
As the waves hit the shore
She got married to a man
She ran into on the street
He made her happy
Up to his last heartbeat
But he still fluently lives on
Like the moon pulling the water
Through their kids
And through their granddaughter
She comes over to visit
They plan a beach day
They walk and talk
And grandma will always thay
You can stop a clock
But you can't prevent change
But you will never grow
If things always stay the same
Life is uncertain
You'll be happy
You'll be hurtin'
Feeling crappy
Bearin' burdens
So live before you draw them curtains
[Chorus]
Time don't ever wait
Every day's a different date
But you decide your fate
So don't let it go to waste
Sometimes happiness
Can feel so out of reach
But it's never too late
To decide you choose the beach
[Outro}
Beach (yeah, sing it Caleb)
Choose the beach
Yeah
Choose the beach (yeah)
(I'm ya biggest fan)
Na na na na na na na (That's beautiful man)
(You go girl!)
Choose the beach (I support you)
(fuck)
