Hidden in the Sand Lyrics

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

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

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

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
