lyrics

Hey, when did it get so late?
I think my watch stopped, around 7 or 8 or
9 years ago, I guess I'll set it again

How many ghost sandcastles did my mind make
before the rising tide washed them all away?
Now I've got sandy feet, and an air of defeat,
But it's time for the socks to go on.

[Chorus:]
Goodbye, I'd take an empty mind some nights.
Why, oh why'd I turn a blind eye on keeping time?

Later on if it's okay,
Let's pull the slides out, and watch sunny days
of summers that I'd forgotten long ago

How many broken records did my mind play,
before we broke down, and let 'em keep us awake?
It's the right time, don't need no 45s;
It's the future anyway.

[Chorus]

I am gonna let go x8

Sand and the sea, gonna be a day that I can let slip away
Don't look back now, wind rushin' on, it's lifting me, liftin me
It takes away the day dream where my dreams are in play and we
lose hope quickly, yeah we lose hope quickly

[Chorus x2]
