Sand in My Shoes & White Flag

 

<<sand in my shoes>> will have been most suitable when i’ve to go back to the sanity of my regular life at work after my week back here.  dreamy & confused, everything felt so familiar.  yet decisions are still to be made.  time won’t stop and wait for you.

 

with so much going on, how come i still “can't shake the thought of you”?  “i should get on, forget you, but why would i want to?”.  everyone tells me to move on, and i know that’s best for me, but why would i want to force myself to do that when i know, deep down inside, that i still long to see you again?  so much so that i’ve been going around places mindlessly, hoping to bump into you somewhere, somehow. 

 

yet i’m terribly scared at the same time.  i really don’t know how to face things.  should i pretend nothings’s ever happened?  should i “let it pass, and hold my tongue and you will think that i've moved on”?

 

i’ve always thought that we will meet again sometime.  but now i’m not so sure…

two weeks away feels like the whole world should have changed
but i'm home now, and things still look the same
i think i'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack

try to forget for one more night that i'm back in my flat
on the road where the cars never stop going through the night
to a life where i can't watch the sun set

i don't have time, i don't have time

i've still got sand in my shoes and i can't shake the thought of you
i should get on, forget you, but why would i want to
i know we said goodbye, anything else would have been confused
but i want to see you again

tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity
should run a bath and then clear up the mess i made before i left here
try to remind myself that i was happy before i knew that i could get
on a plane and fly away
from the road where the cars never stop going through the night
to a life where i can watch the sun set

and take my time, take all our time

two weeks away, all it takes, to change and turn me around

i've fallen , i walked away, and never said that i wanted to see you again

i've still got sand in my shoes and i can't shake the thought of you
i should get on, forget you, but why would i want to
i know we said goodbye, anything else would have been confused
but i want to see you again

i know you think that i shouldn't still love you or tell you that
but if i didn't say it well i'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that
i promise i'm not trying to make your life harder
or return to where we were but

i will go down with this ship and i won't put my hands up and surrender
there will be no white flag above my door
i'm in love and always will be

i know i left too much mess and destruction to come back again
and i caused but nothing but trouble,
i understand if you can't talk to me again

and if you live by the rules of "it's over"

then i'm sure that that makes sense but

i will go down with this ship and i won't put my hands up and surrender
there will be no white flag above my door
i'm in love and always will be

and when we meet, which i'm sure we will
all that was there, will be there still
i'll let it pass and hold my tongue

and you will think that i've moved on....

i will go down with this ship and i won't put my hands up and surrender
there will be no white flag above my door

i'm in love and always will be
