lyrics

I was a boy and I got in a fight on a beach way back
Felt like a gladiator in surfer shorts, up on the attack
Pacifist, I made a fist and broke it on his forehead
Didn’t wait too long before we left each other instead
He was a friend, what a surprise, and by the end
I had sand in my eyes

Sand in my eyes
Rocks eroding in my lashes
Sand in my eyes
I can feel their tiny scratches
Sand in my eyes

Ten years later, I head to the bathroom and he’s next to me
Two spaces away on the urinal, maybe three
Washing my hands he says “hey long time man” I just freeze still
It’s all rushing back, and I get to wondering if he still
Thinks of me, that’d be nice, then all of a sudden there’s sand in my eyes

Sand in my eyes
Standing in a public place
Sand in my eyes
Tears are crawling down my face
Sand in my eyes

I still remember what he looks like and his favourite fruit
And how he loved to watch music videos on mute
Sometimes I imagine I’ll see him once again
But until then
He was a friend, one of my guys, and by the end
I had sand in my eyes

Sand in my eyes
I’m a memory, he’s a memory
Sand in my eyes
Come on future, please be friendly
Sand in my eyes
Even if I do forget him
Sandy in my eyes
I’m just happy that I met him
Sand in my eyes
