In My Mind, There's Sand Aplenty

Felt the sand and crawled to land
Finally saw the sky

Shifted into different skin
Learned to walk upright

Dropped the bone and grabbed the phone
I could talk all night

In my mind, there's sand aplenty
Grains by the bucket, more coming soon
You can almost see the tide lines
If you focus on my eye line
It rises every day by half past noon

In my mind, there's plastic rings
Smiling across the dunes

Smiling across the dunes

Saw a sign for a good time
I called anyway

Said hello and got the loan
Bank took the kid away

Can't expect you to respect
Well, anything

In my mind, there's sand aplenty
Grains by the bag, the cheapest, the most
You can barely see a tracing
Of the memory you're facing
Taps above your head like dancing ghosts

In my mind, there's vintage rain
Moving toward the coast

Moving toward the coast

There's a bottle with a ship in it somewhere
That's the ship that's gonna get me home

We're throwing salt from the wounds in the water
We gon' see if we can get it to float

There's a bottle with a ship in it somewhere
That's the ship that's gonna carry me back

We're throwing wood on the embers and dirt
We gon' see if we can get it to crack

There's a bottle with a ship it in somewhere
That's the ship that's gonna take back the sea

We're throwing all our best at the problem
We gon' see if they would come back for me

There's a bottle with a ship in it somewhere
That's the ship that's gonna get me home

We're throwing salt from the wounds in the water
We gon' see if we can get it to float

There's a bottle with a ship in it somewhere
That's the ship that's gonna carry me back

We're throwing wood on the embers and dirt
We gon' see if we can get it to crack

There's a bottle with a ship it in somewhere
That's the ship that's gonna take back the sea

We're throwing all our best at the problem
We gon' see if they would come back for me
