When I laid in the sand I thought about you   When you laid in the sand you said you saw   I don't know how much time we're given   Am I fighting for your fight to fail?      And then after you'd left the dream was broken   Just your shape in the sand   No words were needed   I don't know how much time we're given   Fighting for your fight to fail      When you're driving your boats   And you're waving me in   Run around with your ghosts   Who're perpetually grinning   No, god only knows if you're calling me home      And I played in a band   And I thought about you   You said you'd lend me a hand   When you felt you could   I don't know how much time we're given   Fighting fire right to fill?      You're just a nail on a cross   With a call coming in now   Dividing your highs and your lows   But you wont let me in   You know god only knows if you're calling me home   When you're driving your boats   And you're waving me in   Run around with your ghosts   Who're perpetually sinning   God only knows if you're calling me home
