Along with the relatives in dirty dark cabins
There was no age limit for the melancholic sobbing
Calling their lost friends, parents and cousins

Didn't like myself more
Back when dates *tried* to score

There lies a tale, a mystery, that I shall reveal.
On this beach, where laughter and joy reside,
A beach ball lingers in the rafters' hide.

Everyone thinks they know that girl. At 
least they think they do. 
You know that girl that makes everyone
