sand in my shoes

losing sleep to the thought of you
the simple remembrance of you and me
it brings me back to eternal peace

I still have sand in my shoes
and I can't seem to get it out
it sits there sticking to where I go
never allowing me to forget the place I came from

I'm from that beach that made me who I am
I'm from the home of the lonely and the haunted
we all have our fun and grow into ourselves
as some are lost in the transition of adulthood

let the youth dictate what we do
as we're brought together yet again
the only one to know all sides of me is back
he'll never leave this heart of mine

I stay awake every day
hoping time will soon fly by

I want to go back in time
or fast forward this life I live
I want to go back to what was then

I still have sand in my shoes
and I can't seem to get it out
it sits there sticking to where I go
never allowing me to forget the place I came from
