All of a sudden, suddenly
All of a sudden is way too soon
Suddenly, my sunburned knees
Are planted in the ground

What’s the hurry? Come on, baby
Stay a little longer cause I
Don’t want to hear maybes
Next time you come around

And the last time that I’ll see the light of day
Is the last time that you go away
And the last letter that I receive
Is that the last time I’ll believe
In all those magic fantasies
I believed in
Sitting in the sandbox?
In the sandbox

Begging for you to choose
Another path to take
I tell you that I love you
That you’re making a mistake

Beggars can’t be choosers
Now you leave me, I’m a loser
How far since the day you met me
I’ve come to the day you left me
Baby, please don’t go quite yet
I haven’t said all that needs to be said

If you go, please just know
The scars you’ve left, the pain you’ve left me with
But just know, friend or foe
I don’t want to be either, cause that means you mean something to me
And if I lie to myself and I keep living that lie
Maybe that lie will come alive
And now I have to ask

Will the last time that I see the light of day
be the last time that you go away?
And the last letter that I receive
Is that the last time I’ll believe
In all those magic fantasies
I believed in
Sitting in the sandbox?
In the sandbox

And the moment that my fist breaks through the plaster
Say goodbye to valentines and happily ever afters
Say goodbye to dozens of roses, they’re now potpourri Shredded to pieces like scented confetti
I’m better off with those fantasies
I believed in
Sitting in the sandbox
In the sandbox

On a merry go round
With the merry scratched out
