Hidden in the Sand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were playing in the sand And you found a little band You said that you fell in love with it, hadn't gone as I planned When you had to bid adieu You said you'd never love anew I thought that I'd try to hold it and fall in love with it too You told me to buy a pony, but all I wanted was you [Verse 2] I remember you that day I couldn't bear to look away I sat there entranced, entangled in every word that you'd say But every night must have a dawn And friend, these nights aren't very long And so when I finally blinked and I realized you were gone Instead of finding you, I went home to write you a song [Verse 3] It was sorrowful and stark But it always seemed to miss the mark Every goddamn lyric seemed to be twisted, creepy, and dark And once resentment settled down I thought I'd finally fucking settled on a sound But each and every melody that I heard would make my head pound Oh, I can't seem to separate the confusing from the profound [Verse 4] We were playing in the sand And I extended you a hand You said that you'd rather die than be seen with me as your man At least that's what I was convinced And the pain's resounded ever since But maybe it's simply that when I took my shot, I missed You know what they say, at the end of the day, indifference is bliss
