My interpretation of patience is growing thin
I wish I could relax,
I wish I could sit back
And go to the ocean,
Where the pretty people congregate
But maybe that's not my fate
I wish I could throw all of my problems away
Close my eyes and hit the beach and spend the day
Making light of everything around me
But if I do
I'd be like you
Well, maybe that's okay
Waves, wash my feet so I can leave
But walking back through the sand makes it worse
So I sit, alone, on the shore for a little more
And think of you 'cause that's all I do
I wish I could throw all of my problems away
Close my eyes and hit the beach and spend the day
Making light of everything around me
But if I do, I'd be like you, and maybe that's okay
But maybe it's not my destiny
I'm not meant to have my face in the sun
When did I become so morbid
When did I become so cold
I wish I could throw all of my problems away
Close my eyes and hit the beach and spend the day
Making light of everything around me
But if I do, I'd be like you, and maybe that's okay
