Sandbox Lyrics

I remember playing in the sandbox back when I was a kid

Jumping off swings and running into things was all that I did

Playing kickball in the grass around our giant backyard

New lego sets and riding bikes down to the boulevard

But then one day I grew up and now just look where I am

I look around and realize I'm still surrounded by sand

I've got some slightly bigger toys and I wear grown-up clothes

But a couple things are different now and everyone knows

This sandbox blows

When I was little we had everything, the world on a string

I'd dig a hole for fun and see how many rocks I could bring

Pretending I was a conductor for the world's largest train

Or operating a bulldozer with my bro on the crane

And now the holes I dig are deeper with some much bigger tools

And all the toys I want to drive come with a book full of rules

And I was miserable last time I was surrounded by snow

I have to pay to ride a train even with nowhere to go

This sandbox blows

But every so often I stop and remember

A small glimpse of goodness that changed me forever

The sunset never changes even over the pond

The time and distance never break my friends inseparable bond

So even when it gets so hard I just want to quit

I remember who I'm here for

This sandbox ain't shit
