The time on the clock reads half past four

With my pillow on the floor

In a harsh reality

I don’t wanna wake up just to find

I've been deceived

Let It Roll
Our time is fleeting

So we take control

From California to my home sweet home

When it’s rising, when it sets

But all I can think about is sex

And playing one more game of six cup in the backyard at the wedge

I know ill never die alone because of all of you

We’ve got all the time in the world

To get a grip on the fact that we don’t last

But right now I wanna watch the tide roll in with my best friends
