[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
