The Beach

[Verse 1]
Velcro on your shoes and fallin' buildings in the news
Packed lunches and backpacks and Adult Swim cartoons
Twelve years, day in, day out
Now the teacher's callin' your home
Lookin' for some kind of way out
But in school you're never alone
You're never alone

[Chorus]
Race to the water on white sand
Dog follows close at your heels
Race to the water on white sand
You feel at home at the beach
Show your mother and father
Show them how well you can swim
Show your mother and father
You're okay

[Verse 2]
Got your first phone and you're layin' up at night when it’s supposed to be off
You feel you've grown but no one else seems to see it that way
Shame and all the changes
Waitin' for the day's end
Video games and little escapes are all that tie you to your friends

[Chorus]
Race to the water on white sand
Dog follows close at your heels
Race to the water on white sand
You feel at home at the beach
Show your mother and father
Show them how well you can swim
Show your mother and father
You're okay
