lyrics

You’re looking good, you’re feeling fine
The sun’s shining and you’ve got time.
New shades, a hot umbrella too
All the world is looking at you

You’re in charge, you’re in control
The world’s a dice and you’re ready to roll
You’re relaxing from your busy life
Work hard, play hard, isn’t that right?

The ocean’s warm and the sky is blue
No need to think about anything but you.
Spread yourself out on the ground
Stretch out and take a look around

You’re good at filling your days
To push the truth (grief?) away
You’ve got lots of time
You’ve got lots of time

Heading out on your first class jet
Across the world are you having fun yet?
You bought your sweet suit at the mall
Get out your wallet cuz the cost ain’t small

You’re looking good, strutting your stuff
Don’t think too much ‘bout when the sea gets rough
White sands, Four star hotels
Don’t leave the gates cuz it might smell

Keep your nose in that book
It’s safer there than outside taking a look
It’s getting hotter, the sun is shining bright
Are you sure you’re still feeling alright?

You’re good at filling your days
To push the truth (grief?) away
Do you still have time?
Do you still have time?

Out on the beach, feet in the sand
No need to think about the history of this land

The waves are crashing up on the shore
Why haven’t you considered sea level rise before?
Keep those glasses pulled over your eyes
The sun is hotter in a world full of lies

You’re good at filling your days
To push the truth away
You’re running out of time
Running out of time
