“The Sand”
i’m just one step short of greatness
but that stride never seemed so far
when things are in your way
i’ve had so many girls try to change me
and so many that just didn’t work for me
i feel like an archeologist in the desert
because i’ve found pieces that i placed together
built a skeleton of love
turns out i only found it’s not whole
i’ve sifted through so much sand
only to find fragments of a thing called love
but i won’t give up ’cause as sure as the sun will rise
i’ll find all the pieces that add up to the way love should be
i’ve been up, i’ve been down
but there’s no giving up
i’ll go through every grain of sand if that’s what it takes
i’m going to find every piece that builds you
