lyrics

It started out as an endless summer
ended up as a total bummer
we kill brain cells and we get dumber
we wait around for something funner

winter's here this place is freezing
empty buildings line empty beaches
our jobs depend on offshore breezes
we wait around for tourist seizin'

I'm good at making promises
and better at breaking them
I dig my feet into the sand
my bones break before they bend

sit around and just pretend
i'm still the man i think i am
instead of the total wreck
i know i really am

It started out as an endless summer
ended up as a total bummer
we kill brain cells and we get dumber
we wait around for something funner

winter's here this place is freezing
empty buildings line empty beaches
our jobs depend on offshore breezes
we wait around for tourist seizin'

I'm bad at thinking most things through
and worse at keeping cool
bad ideas turned into proof
walk away before i do

i've been filling empty rooms
with questionable career moves
aim for the stars land on the moon
compromises through and through

It started out as an endless summer
ended up as a total bummer
we kill brain cells and we get dumber
we wait around for something funner

winter's here this place is freezing
empty buildings line empty beaches
our jobs depend on offshore breezes
we wait around for tourist seizin'
