[Verse 1]
Plastic pail in my right hand
Towel cape
I’m the beach king
I stand
You draw a crown in the wet brown sand
Say
“This is your kingdom
Try not to laugh”
[Pre-Chorus]
Sunblock fingers on my cheeks
You write my name with a crooked seashell
Tiny flags on our crumbling peaks
Tide is coming
But we don’t care
Oh well
[Chorus]
SO+LOM+ON
Build it up
Let the water run
Every wall just another one
For the sea to steal away
SO+LOM+ON
Jump the waves like we’re on the run
If we fall
Then it’s twice the fun
We’ll be laughing anyway
[Verse 2]
Bucket flip
Got a lopsided tower
You stick a feather in
Call it “our flower”
I dig a moat with my toes in the foam
You yell
“Quick
The ocean’s trying to come home!”
[Pre-Chorus]
Seagulls heckle from the sky
You do a drumroll on a cooler lid
First wave crashes
Castle sighs
We salute like it’s a ship we hid
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Feet back
Tide line
We count “one
Two
Three” then fly
Knees high
Salt spray
Almost touch the sky
[falsetto] Miss one wave
Take the next one head-on
You shout my name like a victory song
[Chorus]
