another lonely seaside town
|
where the seasons closed it down.
|
but if you close your eyes
|
you can almost hear the sounds of crowds gone by.
|
|
another year you'll all be here
|
falling in love and watching sunsets and sunrises.
|
it'll be grand and just what you planned
|
'til tomorrow comes and you've said your last goodbyes.
|
he says he'll write, but he won't write
|
and you will waste your time
|
so stay the fuck home and greet everyone with goodbye.
|
|
on this lonely winter's day
|
while all the crowds were still away
|
I realized the attraction
|
to temporary miles and holidays.
|
|
boardwalk dreams all boarded up
|
another souvenir made to be broken.
|
chasing the sun isn't my kind of fun.
|
I'd rather sit and catch snowflakes on my tongue.
|
when summers gone I won't be sad
|
as you cling on to all the good times that you've had
|
'cause being alone isn't really all that bad.
|
|
don't ever tell anyone anything
|
or else you'll wind up missing everybody.
|
don't ever tell anyone anything.
