Ain’t It A Shame

My skin is smooth
My hair is blonde
And I am tan
On a blanket
With my friends
In the sand

Ain’t it a shame
When you wanna die
On a beach in the sun
Not a cloud in the sky
And that’s just not how dying’s done
Ain’t it a shame
When you’re young

I am welcome
I am loved
And I am free
But I have reached for something
I can’t keep

Ain’t it a shame
When you wanna die
On a beach in the sun
Not a cloud in the sky
And that’s just not how dying’s done
Ain’t it a shame
When you’re young

Ain’t it a shame
When you wanna die
On a beach in the sun
Not a cloud in the sky
And that’s just not how dying’s done
It’s not how dyin’s done
(Ain’t it a shame)
Ain’t it a shame
When you’re young
