The beach is for lovers (not lonely losers)

Sat on the stack, held it all back
Let it all go to prevent a crack
And it seems I miss you dearly

Youth on my side, so I'll find the time
I'll grow up someday but for now I'm fine
I just wish that you were near me

Glory days oh glory days behind me, set deep in tainted skin
I'm well aware so don't remind me, how I can't seem to win

Accept defeat, curse the cracks of empty streets
But I don't wanna tell the same sad story
Even if I did, you'd just ignore me

I wear myself out trying to find an ending
But I'll work this out when I stop pretending
that I could never let this go
There's more to life than chasing ghosts
But then hindsight's 20/20

My old man once said: Take heed, don't wait until you're just like me
To look back over history with nothing but regret

So all my friends sang fuck forever
Live today and die together
We don't wanna tell the same sad story
Heard it all before and that's fucking boring

I wear myself out trying to find an ending
But I'll work this out when I stop pretending
that I could never let this go
There's more to life than chasing ghosts
But then hindsight's 20/20
