Lyrics

Beach kids
We speak our own language
We grew up on anguish
The true word of mouth
We fell in love with the windows down
Our bodies were burning up
From fear of missing out

The roads we blindly know
They often lead us off the path
A familiar avenue holding you back
They say ‘remember when’ is the wrong way looking back
I’m alright with that

Looking back on life like film
The scene is set by Lake Michigan
Young and hostile
Sad and bored
Living like we won’t grow old
And some of us won’t

There’s two sides to every town
The one that you see and the one that you hear about

I think I love it here but still want to leave
I’ll miss the atmosphere of the house parties
And winter all lit up down Main Street
Our little corner now a tragedy

But the sun doesn’t set the same way
And we don’t feel the same as we age
Some things will never change
They remain in place
Slow decay

A faded polaroid and a box of old toys
Every memory sinks like a stone
