When I laid in the sand I thought about you When you laid in the sand you said you saw I don't know how much time we're given Fighting for your right to fail And then after you left the dream was broken Just your shape in the sand, no words were needed I don't know how much time we're given Fighting for your right to fail When your driving your boats and your waving me in Run around with your ghosts who perpetually grin You know god only knows if you're calling me home And I played in your bands and I thought about you You said you'd lend me a hand when you felt you could I don't know how much time we're given Fighting for your right to fail Your just a nail on a cross with a call coming in Divide your highs and your lows But you won't let me win And God only knows if you're calling me home
