Spending every night on empty beaches
        C
With the same four kids you'd never sleep with.
           Am               G
Now you're without it, you can't party anymore

So you go and make a record about it.

The hometown drug scene, every 14 year old
C
Restless brat's wet dream,
            Am               G
Sporting the same shades, same tank top, same blue jeans
        C
Hit the same beach and drink the same vodka sweet tea.
        Am                 G
Unfairly pass the blame and claim it was generational,

Predisposition tourney prestigious, invitational.

Like, don't look at me, I wasn't even conceived,
       C
When the scene, the game became operational.
        Am               G
I'm a poser, you said it yourself,
        C
Don't expect me not to pose when the cameras come out!
             Am             G
You missed the lesson on looking out for yourself,
          C
May not be on the up and up but I'm on the up and out.

Chorus:
  Am             G               C
So take me to the far side of the beach,

Before it falls into the ocean,

Before you notice I'm eroding,

I know you don't want to be lonely.

Oooh -Ooh, ahh- I know you don't want to be lonely.

Verse 2:
   Am               G
The sun and the substances you'd choke down

Your favorite celebrity's car just broke down
       C
They're stranded and they gotta crash at your house!
Am                   G
All the kids that were mean to you in school are broke now,
C
On the side of the road asking big shots for handouts.
Am                       G
Big shots like you, cause look at you, you're awesome,
C
But you're laying on the beach like an amputee dolphin.

Chorus 2:
     Am              G            C
"The world just ain't ready for us yet, that's it,"
         Am         G             C
Says the guy to your left, you would die for that kid.
         Am           G             C
Watch his eyes as they get sorta distant and different,
         Am         G         C
and we're moving in place again.

We're moving in place again.

It sure is fun to hate something you'll love when it's gone
     C                       Am               C
This time it's everywhere and everyone at once,
    C                          Am
From moving in place to moving on
          G           C
to moving on, to moving on, to moving on

Chorus:

Take me to the far side of the beach, before it falls into the ocean,
Am            G              C
Before you notice I'm eroding, I know you don't want to be lonely.
Am            G              C
I know you don't want to be lonely, I know 'cause I would feel the same thing.
Am            G          C
Tomorrow I'm gonna be 18, Right now it takes everything in me
  Am               G
To kick and claw and fight against that instinct,
C
To lay there and just sink into the same beach
Am                 G
And get so high that I feel my brain shrink,
C
Justify it's not a massive time waste,
Am            G
Close my eyes, deny I see you sinking,
C
Lay there right beside you in that imprint
Am               G
I left there that night in 2019
C
Lean into the tide and let it take me...

Did your eyes get wide and all excited?
         C
You were like 15, discovered nitrous.
       Am             G
Spending every night on empty beaches
         C
With the same four kids
