lying in the sand on a warm winter night
its still cold and I've been resting my eyes for hours
The sun's just coming up over the distant crashing waves
the ocean couldn't keep it down forever
its too bright to see yet too cold from the night
in these moments I dream of those summer days
those summer days were years ago
back when I thought I was a man
but those summer days they'll never fade away
cause no one can take those from me
those that made life worth living
those that made me who I am today
they made me understand how young I was
they made me appreciate the little things I had
the sand is so cold as it runs through my fingers
it reminds me how I let you slip away
but the sand is still there underneath me
to support me on this cold beach
but the sun is up now, a new day has just begun
I get up to go home, yet I long to never leave that spot on my beach
as I get in my car and slowly drive away
with the sun, the ocean's waves and that sand in my rearview
but I still smile and remember that they'll always be there
to caress me as I'm lying in the sand on those warm winter nights
