With your liquor, stickers, and strawberry moons
[Chorus]
I thought I was ten feet tall
Thought I was above it all
But I was just standing on your shoulders
Just blowing smoke

You made me from sand and now your tide is coming in
[Verse 4]
Everybody looks so happy
Everybody here is beautiful
[Verse 5]
It's getting late, it's getting early
It's funny how the stars are always there
You said "I think you need to go to bed
'Cause it's too late to make a wish"
