Verso 1

Tonight I sit in a beach front home
Overlooking the sea
And to my left's an amusement park
Where nobody wants to be

Pré Refrão

I see street lights and old rides
That there's nobody on
Their empty just like me
Not sure where I went wrong
These nights from these heights
I'm longing for the dawn
For days now past and gone

Refrão

Here I am
A dollar short
Of buying happiness
Here I stand
A dollar short
Not knowing what I've missed

Verso 2

I smell the ocean
The air is clean
The way that I long to be
Life used to be
Such an easy thing
Back when I was 17

Pré Refrão

These lost nights
I've got B-sides of vinyl records on
Their spinning just like me
Making the saddest songs
I've found no meaning
With things under the sun
With fading wealth and fun

Refrão

Here I am
A dollar short
Of buying happiness
Here I stand
A dollar short
Not knowing what I've missed

Refrão

Here I am
A dollar short
Of buying happiness
Here I stand
I wish someone
Would tell me what I've missed

Coro

I wish someone
Would tell me what I've missed

Coro

Somebody tell me
Would tell me what I've missed
