lyrics

Let's go to the beach while we still can
before it gets too hot, before the water gets too high
we'll build sculptures made of sand, sunny day ephemera
take a picture and we'll enjoy these little moments for years to come
cuz the summer passes by so quickly

Let's pretend there's a way to forget all our problems
to escape the traps and trappings, wash all the salt off
and soothe our wounded skin
cuz the summer passes by so quickly
the summer passes by so quickly

Meanwhile late stage capitalism repaves a highway overpass
that could crumble any day now
cuz we all want a smooth way down
and we still smile at babies
teach empathy to our kids
and believe that the best of humanity
someday will win

Be still like memory
Still like memory
We still like melody
Be still like memory
