As I sit here on the shore
Watching all the people looking pretty,
I wonder if they see me,
I know they must think I'm new in the city.
And I am, don't get me wrong,
But why do I have to stick out like a sore thumb?
They're used to all the people;
The surfer, actress, stoner, and the bum.
I feel like the seaweed here
In a coral reef of tropical fish.
I am the unwanted one now
All I hear is the ocean and the hssshhh.
They are all walking with friends
Just strolling on by not a nod nor smile.
But what do I need them for?!
They're nothing more than god awful bile!
Here comes one now what a CHUMP.
Looking down at me I begin to sl
What if you end up like her
What if you end up like them
Not that I'm saying you are
Not that I'm saying you ever will
It's just that forever is a long time
Forever is a long time
I don't know if you are the one
I don't know if there is "the one"
What if I say goodbye then you're gone
What if I don't and I do something wrong
It's just that goodbye is a long time
Goodbye is forever
Maybe we will have kids and grow old together
Maybe they will be rich and not send us to a home
Sometimes I wonder if that would be right
Sometimes I wonder if I'll be like my parents
It's just that marriage is a long time and
Divorce is final
