Lyrics

(Verse 1)
There’s a barstool by the window with my name worn in the wood
Neon humming like it knows me, like it always understood
I keep staring at the bottom of a half-gone beer
Watching memories settle, wishing you were still here

Everybody says time heals, but it don’t feel that way
Feels like every step I take just pulls me down a little more each day

(Chorus)
I’m stuck in sinking sand, trying hard to stand
Every move I make just drags me deeper in
Your goodbye still echoes every place I am
I keep reaching out, but I don’t touch solid ground
Yeah I’m fighting, but I can’t pretend
Some nights love feels like sinking sand

(Verse 2)
Jukebox crying out the truth I try to drown
Every sad song sounds like us in this town
I tell myself you’ll call, say you were wrong
But hope don’t last long when the lights come on

I see your shadow dancing in the smoke
Like you’re right here laughing at some old inside joke

(Chorus)
I’m stuck in sinking sand, trying hard to stand
Every move I make just drags me deeper in
Your goodbye still echoes every place I am
I keep reaching out, but I don’t touch solid ground
Yeah I’m fighting, but I can’t pretend
Some nights love feels like sinking sand

(Bridge)
Maybe rock bottom’s where I learn to breathe
Let go of what’s gone and what used to be
If I quit struggling, maybe I’ll find
Something steady on the other side

(Final Chorus)
I was stuck in sinking sand, losing where I stand
Thought I’d never feel the ground again
But the tide’s turning slow, yeah I can tell
I’m learning how to save myself
I still miss you, I won’t lie
But I’m climbing out one grain at a time

(Outro)
Neon buzzing, bar’s about to close
I step outside, let the cool air slow
This town’s still standing, so am I
Even sinking sand lets go with time
