Andy Gibson - Bricks Of Sand lyrics

rate me

Remember when we thought this was all impossible

We’d have to make the best of a bad situation

So we did the best we could building houses with no wood

Until it turned out that bricks of sand really aren’t that good

And I’d go down to the corner store

And buy $3 worth of happy thoughts

But they’d never last long enough to please me

And you’d go round to your friends house

To buy me out of what I wasn’t proud of

So I wouldn’t have to think about it

But it turns out bricks of sand

Crumble the moment they leave your hand

I ignored my inner voice, thought I didn’t have a choice

I’d have to make the best of the only valid option

So I denied myself of light and wondered why it felt like such a fight

And it never even crossed my mind that something wasn’t right

And I’d go down to the corner store

And buy $3 worth of happy thoughts

But they’d never last long enough to please me

And you’d go round to your friends house

To buy me out of what I wasn’t proud of

So I wouldn’t have to think about it

But it turns out bricks of sand

Crumble the moment they leave your hand
