sand

This is that once in a lifetime...

Yeah, oh, once in a lifetime, a golden opportunity

Golden like the sand that you finally took me through to see

Was holding tight my hand, while I dipped a toe into the sea

I smiled like an idiot, but you still saw the sleuth in me

Hair up beautifully, considering the future

We were hitting up the candy shop and I felt truly super

It never seemed a place or time that I would stay in place to see

That question resting on our minds, like "Would you run away with me?"

Yeah, okay, how about it? We could start a new life

Living beach house days and garden view nights

And maybe think back to high school, starting food fights

Across from all my best friends, like "Y'all are too nice"

But now the heart of moonlight hits, and we'll just watch the stars dance

Attempt to mimic them until our little hearts can't

Take anymore of that vacant ancient decor

When it breaks and we can make for the door

And depart fast, and honestly, you look like Mozart sounds

You're a warm embrace compared to the cold, hard ground

The chicken noodle soup when I've been fretting sick in bed

It's like expecting death and restlessness and then catching a kiss instead

You're a myth that's said to hide via love

An angel who was once thought to reside in skies above

You're the sand between my toes when the high tide comes

Matter of fact, you're the air that's inside my lungs

You had sand in your hair and your fingernails

Trying to find a good spot in the shade

I suggested that we put up all our things for sale

You suggested we just up and run away

I had sweat on my palms and across my face

Thinking "If we did it would it go well?"

I suggested we don't wait even one more day

You suggested that I bring my favorite shells, well
