Lyrics
We were younger

It was a simpler time

We were just blind

Thought everything was fine

We made a mistake

It caused us to break

We built our love on the sand

And hoped that it would withstand

But the floods came

and the winds stayed

And you fell out of my hands

We’re no lost cause

We’re possible to fix

But it takes time

To pick back up these sticks

We made a mistake

It caused us to break

We built our love on the sand

And hoped that it would withstand

But the floods came

and the winds stayed

And you fell out of my hands

Looking back I wish I would have known

That we should have built our love on stone

We’d have a shot

to grow a lot

But now we both just stand here alone
