about

This song is about having the best time with your best friends, but in Hawaii. It's dedicated to Susie and T-rex for making it possible, and Clayton for putting up with our shit.

lyrics

The sun rose cautiously
Under blanketed caverns they clung to their sleep
And fought the signs of day
While beaches were waking only footsteps away
With shallow steps they crept
Woke to their best friends and if god would let them
They’d swallow water down
With stomachs all settled they’d race for the medal
Of darkness on the beach
The sun burned like cinders and shadows were splinters of
Winters cool soft breeze
With red faces in sand they prayed for relief and
That time for them would stop
Stuck in that hour oh if they had that power
But living in these dreams
Did they leave something unseen
Don’t take the time we shared for granted and granted
The doused and fallen star enchanted the romantics
You’ll tell me
“We’re the first to witness
Dancing life and glowing death”
The rain it kept up during sunset.
With darkness falling slow
They strolled to the seashore to take in its sweet chord
Like music to their ears
The rain’s speckled dancing the waves’ heavy crashing
With sunshine flooding through
The rainbows leaped to life like a melody soft and light
They’d part paths in time
But for that single instant they knew what friendship meant
They each stared
As the light they cherished
Was extinguished by the sea
And held their hearts to rains’ soft beat
Time crawls, my strength it shatters
There’s only so much in me
When I fall I’ll lose what matters
Without these memories
But I promise to hold the fort and
I promise to not resort to
Taking the time we shared for granted.
Don’t take the time we shared for granted
