The lakeside's calling, "it's time to jump in"
And what do you know? It's been 3 hours or so
Got sand in my hair and sun on my skin
But it's time to get clean, and I don't want to go
These friends of mine won't be with me back home
We've waited 9 long months just to get to yesterday
Here, we dream in rainbows, gloss, and chrome
So can we get 5 more minutes here in the water to play
Take me back to those beach days
Out on the dock catching sun rays
Finally emerging from cold haze
At the end of that long maze
Figuring out all the fun ways
To solidify in our mind's gaze
Everything we are and what we do and how we feel
It's like it wasn't even real
No one's got a soul where I come from
It's all about winning and sinning to get there before you're caught
All I need is love, even if you think that's dumb
So why don't we go for a swim right now while the sun is hot
Take me back to those beach days
Out on the dock catching sun rays
Finally emerging from cold haze
At the end of that long maze
Figuring out all the fun ways
To solidify in our mind's gaze
Everything we are and what we do and how we feel
It's like it wasn't even real
I'm fighting back tears down 295
Cuz I don't know the next time I'll feel this alive
And you, my friend, you never seemed like one to cry
But I know it hurts
To say goodbye
Still, we'll always have beach days
In our heads through the malaise
Stuck there like the new dance craze
At all the lakes, rivers, and bays
Take me back to those beach days
Out on the dock catching sun rays
Finally emerging from cold haze
At the end of that long maze
Figuring out all the fun ways
To solidify in our mind's gaze
Everything we are and what we do and how we feel
It's like it wasn't even real
