Verse 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. 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.
Chorus - Here I am (a dollar short of buying happiness) Here I stand (a dollar short not knowing what I've missed)
Verse 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 seventeen. These lost nights I've got B-sides of vinyl records on. Just like me their spinning making the saddest songs. I've found no meaning with things under the sun, with fading wealth and fun.... (chorus)
Ending: I Wish someone would tell me what I've missed
Somebody tell me just what I've missed
