Handful of Sand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Darling, when you sit up and stare all night I get the feeling that something ain't right My heart starts to beat on my drum-tight skin I just wanna kick it in I know you start weeping when you think that I'm sleeping I know you know that you just can't win But I'll try my best You know honey I swear I will [Verse 2] Oh darling, you pretend to sleep but I know it's a lie This bed is wet from the tears you cry Lie there frustrated, don't know what to do Sometimes I can't get through to you I know you can't explain what's giving you pain You just can't contain all your blues But honey I'll try my best You know that I have sworn I will [Chorus] So now if you wanna come out and talk about it Well, I'll try to understand Well, if you wanna yell it baby, scream it, please shout it And I'll try to understand For now you know I just can't stand To see this sand Slipping out of my hand [Verse 3] Oh darling, when you just can't take it anymore Shout it out, now, tell me what you're crying for Don't let it rage inside, that won't help you none Be like staring into the barrel of a loaded gun I will help you feel more self-assured Even if it cuts to the core I'll try to take it like a man I'll, I'll try my best But only because I have sworn I will [Chorus] So now if you wanna come out and talk about it Well, I'll try to understand Well, if you wanna yell it baby, scream it, please shout it And I'll try to understand For now you know I just can't stand To see this sand Slipping out of my hand [Guitar Solo] [Verse 1] Darling, when you sit up and stare all night You know I get the feeling I get the feeling that somebody's riding my heart My heart starts to beat on my drum-tight skin And you know, I just wanna kick it I know you start weeping when you think that I'm sleeping I know you know that you just can't win But I'll try my best, try my best Because I have sworn I will [Chorus] So now if you wanna come out and talk about it Well, I'll try to understand Well, if you wanna yell it baby, scream it, please shout it And I'll try to understand For now you know I just can't stand To see this sand Slipping out of my— And I just can't stand To see this sand Slipping out of my hand
