Here I stand Like an hourglass I sift through time Strand by strand Try to find a way to just get by I long to run Escape the grind This quicksand has got me reaching for the line So take my hand Take my life Don't tell me it's better on the other side 'Cause we build up our lost dreams As we etch them into life It's as fragile as it seems Like sandcastles against the tide Like sandcastles against the tide (Like sandcastles) Keep awake From the moments that I can't rewind Day by day Searching for a little peace of mind I long to run Escape the grind This quicksand has got me reaching for the line So take my hand Take my life Don't tell me it's better on the other side 'Cause we build up our lost dreams As we etch them into life It's as fragile as it seems Like sandcastles against the tide Like sandcastles against the tide 'Cause we build up our lost dreams As we etch them into life It's as fragile as it seems Like sandcastles against the tide
