something sandy - once lyrics

[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
built a castle once
gave it my name, my life
had a room for my brothers
one for my kids and my wife
had a partner once
stayed up to dream every night
but when parks get empty
and ten becomes twenty
it’s hard not to give up the fight

[verse 2]
put my faith in a drunk conversation
thought maybe i’d give up the world
you thought maybe someday we’d be finished
decide to slay the dragon and you’d get the girl
now, i know who i’m talking to
guess it was never
you needed something to believe in
but i’m tired of hearing you sayin’ you never knew
sayin’ i wasn’t the reason

[chorus]
so go when i’m not around
go when the iron is hot
‘cus i’m tired of saying i’ll go myself
and pretending you’re someone you’re not
[post+chorus]
go throw away the bill
the riches i’ve earned us
won’t pay for the corners you’ve cut

[bridge]
it’s a fool who tried
when all the others have corrupt
together in stride
i think that a couple of fools might just make it
if a couple of fools could commit

[verse 3]
wrote a novel once
based on a rabbit named pink
sold a hundred copies
you can find my blood in the ink
you know i was younger once
in fact, i’m still just as naive
gave my soul for dinner
still went for my turn to eat

[verse 4]
you know i loved you once
guess it just ain’t meant to be
‘cus i never met no one more careless than you
or someone as careful as me
[chorus]
so go when i’m not around
go when i’m building my walls
said we’d make it together
but turns out you’re better than making anything at all

[post+chorus]
go lean on someone else
it’s about time you learned how to stand back
oh, but i knew you’d fall

[instrumental outro]
