Moving In Place

Did your eyes get wide and all excited? You were like 15, discovered nitrous Spending every night on empty beaches With the same four kids you'd never sleep with Now you're without it, you can't party anymore So, you go and make a record about it The hometown drug scene Every 14 year old restless brat's wet dream Sporting the same shades, same tank top, same blue jeans Hit the same beach and drink the same vodka sweet tea Unfairly pass the blame and claim it was generational Predisposition tourney prestigious, invitational Like, don't look at me I wasn't even conceived When the scheme, the game became operational I'm a poser, you said it yourself Don't expect me not to pose when the cameras come out! You missed the lesson on looking out for yourself May not be on the up and up, but I'm on the up and out So take me to the far side of the beach Before it falls into the ocean Before you notice I'm eroding I know you don't wanna be lonely Oh, mmm, oh I know you don't wanna be lonely The sun and the substances you'd choke down Combine in your mind for wild lies about how Your favorite celebrity's car just broke down They're stranded and they gotta crash at your house All the kids that were mean to you in school are broke now On the side of the road asking big shots for handouts Big shots like you, 'cause look at you, you're awesome! But you're laying on the beach like an amputee dolphin "The world just ain't ready for us yet, that's it" Says the guy to your left, you would die for that kid Watch his eyes as they get sorta distant and different And we're moving in place again, we're moving in place again It sure is fun to hate something you'll love when it's gone This time, it's everywhere and everyone at once From moving in place to moving on To moving on, to moving on, to moving on Take me to the far side of the beach Before it falls into the ocean Before you notice I'm eroding I know you don't wanna be lonely I know you don't wanna be lonely I know 'cause I would feel the same thing Tomorrow, I'm gonna be 18 Right now, it takes everything in me To kick and claw and fight against that instinct To lay down and just sink into the same beach And get so high that I feel my brain shrink Justify it's not a massive time waste Close my eyes, deny I see you sinking Lay down right beside you in the imprint I left there that night in 2019 Lean into the tide and let it take me Your eyes get wide and all excited You were like 15, discovered nitrous Spending every night on empty beaches With the same four kids
