lyrics

V1:
Can I come play with you
on your side of the sandbox with all of your friends?
We could build castles and show our mother,
she’ll smile at the work of our hands

C1:
But you drew a line in the sand
You drew a line in the sand

V2:
End of July on my 19th birthday
I drove all my friends to the beach house
I said I forgot to call you but really
I just didn’t want you around

C2:
I drew a line in the sand
I drew a line in the sand

V3:
Thanksgiving Dinner we met at our parents house
hadn’t seen you in awhile
Facebook posts and November votes
keep us on separate sides of the aisle

C3:
We drew a line in the sand
We drew a line in the sand
I drew a line in the sand
We drew a line in the sand

V4:
Now that I’m old and I sit by the phone
and I muster the courage to call you
I don’t know why but I started to cry,
cause I just didn’t know what to say
As the tears came down,
they watered the ground,
and I watched as the lines washed away
We watched as the lines washed away

V5:
Can I come play with you
on your side of the sandbox with all of your friends?
