lyrics

You're going away to seek out life at the beach
And I'll probably cry when you say it's the happiest you've ever been,
'Cause I'll know it's true.
Please just don't forget about Sanbath and Elleby.

I smile when I think about the years we've spent.
We met through our love for graffiti,
That sums up everything, I think.
And, remember that time we stained our teeth pink
At the Big Lots on Four Seasons

The first time we hung out you said, "How's it going, Emily?"
And your eyes shone with a crystalline serenity
That was when we sat on our best friend's back porch second-hand smoking
With a boy with red hair

But, whatever: you helped me to see things clearly at the diner.
"No dogs" were "allowed on the grass."
Well, that was after the Sleigh Bells concert
When we ate Taco Bell and stole Christmas lights at one in the morning.,
And she drove our getaway car.

You're going away to seek out life at the beach
And I'll probably cry when you say it's the happiest you've ever been,
'Cause I'll know it's true.
Please just don't forget about Sanbath and Elleby.

Recently you drove me to Kate's Park early in the night, and you listened.
And you listened.
And you smiled.
And I will never forget that kindness you've shown me;
I love you.
You're my best friend, you're my best friend.

You're going away to seek out life at the beach
And I'll probably cry when you say it's the happiest you've ever been,
'Cause I'll know it's true.
Please just don't forget about Sanbath and Elleby.
