The sidewalk's cracked and dirty face    Is looking up from underneath my feet   It's staring at the hallow broken boy    Who's lost and wandering these city streets   Every night I wander here alone   A night that we won't meet      I wonder when I'll finally understand   Why time can wash away love like it was made of sand   And it's wonderful   The pain that comes with regret   Sometimes you have to see the beauty in all of this loneliness      The streetlights flicker and then they fade   Like every good intention that I've had   And every face that passes through my mind   I'll be struggling with these same old dreams   Until the concrete turns to sand   And I'm swept up by the waves      I wonder when I'll finally understand   Why time can wash away love like it was made of sand   And it's wonderful   The pain that comes with regret   Sometimes you have to see the beauty in all of this loneliness      There's only so many chances that you get   To do something that's this important   Now I'd rather sink than swim   Sewer grates keep spitting up their steam   Exhaling all the broken dreams I've flushed away      I wonder when I'll bow out   Wash me away like I was made of sand   And it's wonderful   It's wonderful
