These lyrics are not "official" lyrics. They are "as deciphered" by me.
Other fans have also sent in suggestions, and when they do, I give them credit for it.
I spend a lot of time on this, so please, if you want to post the lyrics that I have below on your site,

let's go down to the beach today
let's go down to the water and play
there'll be sandcastles made of clay
then we'll watch it wash away

let's go hang with the kids today
i forget everything
i will be your friend today
i will be your friend today

i don't care what you say
i don't care what you did
(2X)
(doesn't matter to me. 4x)

let's go down to the beach today
everything is different today
i won't get mad at anything
i forgive everything

let's go down to the water today
it won't cost me anything
i will be your friend today
i don't care if you hurt me

i don't care what you say
i don't care what you did
(2X)
(doesn't matter to me. 4x)

quiet part:
let's go down to the beach today
and i will play all your games
let's hang out with the kids today
let's hang out wih the kids okay
we'll build sandcastles made of clay
then we'll watch it wash away
i will be yr friend today
i will be yr friend today

(dear corin, you're the only student in the whole school
who can keep an open mind about music,
and accept a little wild loudness.
keep listening to those crazy new wave bands
and keep an eye out for sheena cause she's a punk rocker.
keep the faith and new bands will appear.

it is also interesting listening to all your stories
of car wrecks and concerts.
i hope you get out of all the trouble you got in
with the cops (sooner than you think? i know the feeling?)...

we've got to start a band this summer,
but we've got to find a better name than "sleater-kinney"
it was good not knowing you
i hope you have a good summer
stay cool, love carrie)
-end quiet part-

i don't care what you say
i don't care what you did
(2X)
(doesn't matter to me. 4x)
