I hear the ocean breathing in a sigh
A sea gull screaming over head just out of sight
I see the Sun melt slowly in your eyes
Fall into the dirty water time after time

Every single shell was once alive
Just like the two of us
We wade down to the waters edge
And now there's nothing but grains of sand

A signal flashes faintly from the shore
Echos in the distance with the sound of your voice
Nothing's ever seemed so far away
Wave after wave it's calling me
Wave after wave after wave

Every single shell was once alive
Just like the two of us
We step into the shallow end
To see what love is like
At the water's edge our lives wash up
The tide keeps rolling out
But now we're nothing
Now you're nothing but grains of sand

La la la la
La la la la
Wave after after wave
I can feel that the end is coming
Breaking the step
'til we sit at our last we're always
Nothing but grains of sand
