[Verse 1]
I've been humming a high note
Maybe something that I wrote
Out sailing in my boat
I’m not really sure
I’m still singing the same tune
Been kicking around since June
All morning and afternoon
Now it’s all a blur
I’ve been listenin' to sea shells
To hear the stories that they tell
Of high times and tide swells
That have yet to occur

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Backsliding down the drain
Partially taking all the blame

[Chorus]
Chasing coins to fill the purse
Is it really better or for worse
Is it a blessing or a curse to pass the buck
Is it a bounty or a bust
Is it precious metal or just rust
Well it seems it’s up to us
[Post-Chorus]
So wish us luck

[Verse 2]
I kept making a U-turn
Ended up with a sunburn
But the lesson that I learned
Was worth the skin that peeled
I climbed so many mountains
It’s not even worth countin'
All the drinks in the fountain
Before it was revealed

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Backsliding down the drain
Partially taking all the blame

[Bridge]
From the copper to the kettle
The stamen to the petal
We watch the value of sand dollars crumble

[Chorus]
Chasing coins to fill the purse
Is it really better or for worse
Is it a blessing or a curse to pass the buck
Is it a bounty or a bust
Is it precious metal or just rust
Well it seems it’s up to us
[Post-Chorus]
So wish us luck
