Sinking Sand Lyrics by Destine

Lightspeed

2010

[Verse 1]
I see you run
Run as fast you can now
It's getting harder, and you're outta time
'Cause you know I've been gasping for air
I'm weak at the knees, and we both know why

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't wait, or you will be the first to go
So, leave me here behind

[Chorus]
And sinking sand keeps pulling me in too deep
It might be best for you to pass me by
I'd safely bet to wait for your company
So, don't you save me now, no, not this time

[Verse 2]
So, hold me down
'Cause the water is rising
It's getting harder now to turn the tide
I can scream from the top of my lungs
I can scream for safety nets and good advice

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't wait, or you will be the last to know
So, please, leave me here behind

[Chorus]
And sinking sand keeps pulling me in too deep
It might be best for you to pass me by
I'd safely bet to wait for your company
So, don't you save me now, no, not this time

[Instrumental]

[Interlude]
Oh, don't wait, or you will be the last to know
So, leave me here behind

[Chorus]
And sinking sand keeps pulling me in too deep
It might be best for you to pass me by
I'd safely bet to wait for your company
So, don't you save me now, no, not this time

[Outro]
So, don't you save me now, no, not this time (This time)
So, don't you help me out, no, not this time (Not this time)
So, don't you save me now, no, not this time
