sometimes we get scared of all the elements that could tear our sandcastle down the surf, the wind, a loose beach ball, that we forget to enjoy it each moment we create is in itself a grain of sand4our sandcastle

Story behind the song
Kim & I were going thru a time in our relationship where everything seemed to cause in us a tense feeling, a bajigetty vibe, if you will..what did we do? we went to a special place and shared w/ eachother shamefull stories of our past, we humbled ourselves, willingly, to eachother.
knowing we could be completely truthful with even the shameful things of our past, we realized how easy it will be to be completely truthfull with the not-so shamefull things.
in a way we told eachother, heck, here i am, the good the bad, the ugly of me...what do you think of me now?
& speaking from my pt. of view...my admiration and respect for kim went on the up and up. Here is a girl, who has enough faith in us, and is comfy enough w/ me to tell me these things.
all relationships are sand castles. some are made to last, some are jus' something to do for the day.
the difference between the ones that are meant to last and the days only, aren't the hazardous elements,
we can't control the rising tide, the strenght of the wind, the innocent mind of a toddler, or the sense of direction to a lost beachball..
all sand castles have these threats .
the difference is the state of mind of the builders.
jus' remember no relationship is over, until you forget you have an infinite grains of sand to rebuild, reconfigure, redesign, & adapt to whatever element is thrown at you.
my dad told me once, you can't control everything, the only thing you can control is how you react to everything.
all to the power of keff baby! woo hoo
Lyrics
(m.u.t. k-i-s-s m-e)
sand castle in my eye
reachin' for high20 trying to fly
with carebears in tall grass
& beaded bracelets that never last
but we kept 'em anyway
its one way we say say say
keep it that way
when we're old and grey
(m.u.t. k-i-s-s m-e)
sand castle in my eye
reachin' for high20 tryin' to fly
w/ our pacts we fight each day, hopin & believin love'll find a way
lets keep it that way
when we say say say
keep it that way
when we're old and grey
young lovers figurin' out this dance
break the argument w/ your smile
from your eyes we turn the dial
find its been playin our song all the while
break the argument w/ your smile
from you eyes we turn the dial
hear that song on the radio and reminds me that i love you, so
what do we do now that we're here
what is next to appear
that we cause us pain and cause us trials
ultimately teach us to fly (2x)
higher
