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.]
