All my efforts

All my efforts
To this lifestyle
Make it make sense
Does it make sense?
But I’m here

Not share it

I can’t dedicate
All my efforts
To this lifestyle

[Post-Chorus]
Sunny beaches
Make me alright
Indulging in the simplest pleasures
We can’t deny

[Verse 2]
I’m so sick of this
Tired right now, tired later
I am losing sleep
Over careers, beep me later

[Chorus]
You can dictate
What makes people
Find their comfort and their joy
Within it all, within it all
I can’t decide what would make me
A better person
A better citizen
A better student
A better friend

[Post-Chorus]
Sunny beaches
Make me alright
Indulging in the simplest pleasures
We can’t deny

[Outro]
Don’t wash me down
I don’t care if I lose
Does it end?
It’s getting fluent
I know it won’t hurt me
But it’s all that I see
Here I am
