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



And I wonder when I'll bow out

Wash me away like I was made of sand

And it's wonderful

It's wonderful
