Sand Dunes by the Sea

from Fluorochrome by Sara Ayers

/

lyrics

I was nervous, I was lost
I was young, I was eager, I was overtaught
Life is easy if you know what you want

There was a match lit
Spark spark sparkle in the air
We didn't know what we were doing, we made the perfect pair
Question become problems and they turn up everywhere

I held court in my corner, you were laughing on the sidewalk
As we upheld our reputations, the princess and the jack of hearts
I was looking for direction and saw a shooting star

Moments are elusive, like sand dunes by the sea
You can try to put your finger on it, you can take it all too seriously
But you can't go back to see

It was science and a modern style of life
My own fault, I'm sure
But when you're drunk and running on and smashing glasses at your door
Remember me.
