“Sand In My Shoes”

Two weeks away feels like the whole world should’ve 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 watch the sunset
I don’t have time
I don’t have time
[Chorus:]
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’ve been confused but I wanna 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 here
Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away
From the road where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can watch the sunset
And take my time
Take all our time

[Chorus]
I wanna see you again
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
