Sandcastles - Kate Voegele

I got this ticket in my hand

And I got a long long day ahead

And I got a hell of a lot of reasons to be sad

But I’ve got a hundred more that keep me coming back

I’ve got these worn out red boots on And I got a brand new favorite song

And can name some people who’d say that I’ve got it all wrong

But I know plenty more who’ve been there all along

And I’d rather make sandcastles

Instead of these wide world decisions

I knew I knew it all was catching up to me yeah

And I don’t have a plan at all

But I got this six string religion

And I do I do believe a song can heal me It’s enough for me, yeah

I had this picture in my head

Of where I oughta be and when

But it’s just like the good advice that John gave when he said

Life it happens while we’re busy makin' plans

Where I’m laughing is where I’m home

But you know how fast it makes the time go And there was nothin' like the very first time that I saw open road

And wasn’t terrified to ride it on my own

I got my heart in the right place

But that place is millions of miles away

And I suppose I never will know the perfect words to say

But I’ll keep searching til they find me one fine day
