lyrics

I’m the whitest kid on the beach
hiding in the shade and moaning ‘bout the heat
I’m the palest kid in the sand
the heat’s too much to bear, it’s more than I can stand
you see I barely leave my room anymore
accustomed to the dark
and I rarely get up before noon
and sometimes I don’t get dressed at all
and I don’t see my friends

I don’t like the feeling of the sand between my toes
I prefer the carpet on my feet
and I don’t like the hustle and the bustle of the people
I prefer the comfort between the sheets
I’m safe in my bed

I’m the whitest kid on the beach
my legs will blind your eyes
when the sun shines on my thighs
I’m the palest kid in the sand
I think I’d really like it if you tried to understand

I’m uncomfortable at best
in sandals and a summer dress
now I’m sweating my skin off
and I look a complete mess
and everyone’s looking at me

No I’m not used to being around other people
plans were never made and when they are they fall through
and now I’m too full of self loathing
to send even a message to you
I’m losing all my friends

I’m the whitest kid on the beach
hiding in the shade and moaning ‘bout the heat
I’m the palest kid in the sand
the heat’s too much to bear, it’s more than I can stand

I’m the whitest kid on the beach
my legs will blind your eyes
when the sun shines on my thighs
I’m the palest kid in the sand
I think I’d really like it if you tried to understand
